[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]None of the heart rate zones are all that relevant until you are training significantly. Just don’t worry about it. You aren’t doing 10+ hours of cardio a week, so it’s literally doing what is tolerable and what you enjoy. You’ll know when what you are doing is either too hard or not hard enough just using motivation as your guide. It would take way more than what you are doing for years to become more efficient at fat oxidation, so just don’t stress out about it.

This is all more about your intake anyways. That’s your answer. Not doing 30 minutes of running while not eating. [/quote]

"it’s literally doing what is tolerable and what you enjoy" - Exactly!

If you want to wear a heart rate tracker and make sure you mostly go to at least zone 2, sometimes higher, that's great. But equivalently, just walk/run/bike/elliptical/whatever at a pace at which you can still carry on a conversation, but you have to pause to take a deep breath every sentence or so.[/quote]
