Today, Rob Rowsell is as fit as any 60 year old you’ll ever meet, partly due to this fat burning heart rate formula. Not bad for someone was once a “skinny fat” homeless drug abuser! Listen to Rob explain how he burns fat with cardio, weights, and a healthy diet.

Fat Burning Heart Rate Zones ChartThe Fat Burning Heart Rate Formula For Any Age Group

In order for us to burn fat and lose weight, especially as we get older, we have to be intentional. This means researching the best methods to reach our fitness goals, then putting them into practice. One component is finding our personal fat burning formula.

Rob gives an example. When doing cardio exercises, he monitors his heart rate using his watch. He enters that number into the equation to find his heart rate zone.

Find Your Fat Burning Heart Rate With This Equation

Start with the “magic number” 220. Then subtract your age. Finally, multiply the difference by 0.70 (70%). At the time of this video, Rob was 59 years old. According to the equation, his fat burning heart rate was 113 BPM.

For many years, Rob neglected crunching this number and overdid it on cardio. Since his heart rate was too high while running, it was actually burning muscle. Thus, he was canceling out his weightlifting gains.

If we aren’t being intentional about following these numbers, what happens? We simply do not get results. Rob compared a treadmill workout without specific heart rate targets to a basketball game without nets. The fat burning formula provides guidelines in order to supply results.

Macros Explained

Nutrition is also an important factor in fat burning, which is explained by another complementary formula. Your macros refer to the specific nutritional percentages you should ingest in a day. Rob provides an example goal set of 40% protein, 30% carbohydrates, and 30% fats. Rob consults his doctor, as well as his ChatGPT health plan, to know what to eat when. Everyone’s numbers are different, based on individual factors.

Remember, you are the quarterback of your own health! It may seem impossible to reach a healthy weight, but it is not! Take matters into your own hands and put in the work, while you still can!
