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.
Your target heart rate is actually a heart rate range in which you seek to exercise to meet certain fitness goals. For example, if you are an athlete who wants to improve anaerobic fitness, you might train using an intensity that puts you at a number of heart beats per minute that is 80 to 90 percent of the maximum heart rate you can sustain.
