cancerous tumor in thalamus. My cousin Dave, we recently found out, has a large cancerous tumor in his left thalamus. He was able to undergo a biopsy, but they are saying it is inoperable. Right now, I do not know what type of tumor it is (the results of the biopsy) but we are waiting.
When you exercise in your fat burning zone, you use a greater percentage of calories from fat than at other heart rate zones. You reach your typical fat burning zone when your heart rate is at 55 percent to 70 percent of your maximum heart rate.
A normal heart rate-about 60 to 100 beats per minute. Your heart rate can increase beyond 100 beats per minute if your body needs more blood, such as during strenuous exercise. Some athletes may have normal heart rates below 60 beats per minute because their hearts are very efficient and don't need to beat as fast.
