Oh pedometers are a fabulous little device to keep us on track with our fat burning goals. You see we have to be in the 60% of our max heart rate zone.
(220-your age)*.60= Target Heart Rate
Now for most people to hit the 90-110 bpm range, you know what they need to be doing? Walking!
Walking burns FAT helps us lose weight and research shows you don't have to do it all at once. A 45 minute walk once a day is just as effective as three combined 15 minute walks.
This is great news. Pedometers count how many steps we take, and researchers believe that a healthy human needs 10,000 steps a day.
If you work in the office or on a computer all day you are likely only achieving about 3000-4000 per day.
A pedometer can help you keep on track with your weight loss goals. Now of course the highest percentage of fat burning occurs after 40 minutes of being in that 60% range (you will burn about 95-97% of calories from fat)...but if that is not an option in your day, just break it up. Make sure you take your 10,000 steps and by all means just KEEP MOVING to burn fat!!
