    It is supposedly 60% of your max heart rate which is age driven. All very loose estimates.

    Just keep that up, and watch your calorie intake. Try to keep a calorie deficit.

    Your overall calorie burn is what matters and for weight loss your overall calorie deficit is supreme.
    The zone is something thats pushed a lot by hrm makers, especially Polar, who have a vested interest in making a big thing of it.
