Heart rate in Fat Burn Zone

HI, just started using my Fitbit and noticed my heart rate is constantly in the Fat Burn Zone the majority of the day while awake, only changes when I get active in to Cardio and Peak. Any thoughts?

Hi @HughieMack,

 

What is Fitbit reporting as your resting heart rate ?

That's high enough to probably qualify as Fat Burn zone.  In my observation it might be from a medical condition, low level of fitness, or it may be just natural for that person. Assuming your doctor is aware of your heart rate and there's not a medical problem, you'll be fine, just burning more fat than many people.

Thanks for you thoughts Dave. I think its a combination of low level fitness (working on that now) and how I'm made. Now I kinda get why I can eat like a horse and not put weight on.
