Heart rate zone during resistance training/

[LeslieFok]

I had been doing resistance training with bands.  I’m just doing this at home, so I’m a total amateur.  I do noticed that while I’m doing my sets, my heart rate rarely hit “cardio”, even “fat burn”.  Is that normal?  Or maybe I’m not exerting enough?  But I know I was trying real hard pulling those bands (my muscles ache).  Any thoughts/

Hi @LeslieFok Good on you for doing the bands! I would think your heart rate sounds pretty normal. It should increase during your workout, but as it isn't cardiovascular exercise it is unlikely to get too high. I find when I walk, even pretty hard walking up hills, I rarely get above fat burn, but on my bike where I have to work harder constantly I have a much higher rate and HR zones. If you want to get your heart rate up, try vigorous walkng, biking, jogging or hard swimming.

Hello

It is really need to know what should be good for health then you must know about heart rate and - 

A target heart rate of eighty-ninety % of your max (vigorous intensity) will increase your lactate threshold. This heart rate zone is often useful to improve performance in weightlifting and other non-endurance sports that require power output. C4Yourself Heart rate increases acutely immediately following a work bout and is affected by the amount of resistance, the number of repetitions and the muscle mass involved in the contraction small vs. large mass exercises.
