What is everybody's optimal heart rate zone for fat burning?
mine is 98-167
under 98 bpm my body is just using oxygen for energy and not stored fat

I still have to purchase a HRM. I guess I'll probably need to get one soon... just pricing them right now.0

yeah i would recommend getting one,
you can figure out your target heart rate zone here : http://www.dummies.com/how-to/content/how-to-find-your-target-heartrate-zone.html0 -
I don't have a HRM too. Cannot afford one at the moment. Which one do you have?0

Hi! I did one round of Insanity before and never had a HRM. However this year I saved for it and got a Polar. They are awesome. Very reliable and accurate, however a little expensive. You can put a little money aside each month to get one.
My HR zone is 113 -188. I am usually at 160 during Insanity, however when I push very hard I go to 182.0 -
i have a polar also, a bit older model, but i got a good deal on ebay,.
my highest heart rate in Insanity have been 163 which i got yesterday haha. i think i average about 140-1450 -
You will definitely increase that in no time! Guys usually lose weight faster.. not fair :grumble: and yes, I love the Polar HRM. They last a long time and are very accurate!0
