Right... but what is "safe?" Is 90% not safe? I always thought that 162 beats per minute was fine, but when I look at that chart (and now that I'm 29)... it appears that I am working too hard. But it feels good/natural for me... not sure what to do.

Depending on your workout and your diet, you can easily burn more fat during recovery if you work above the "fat burning" range.

I get the fat-burning part... but if I am working above 60% ("fat burning" range), does that mean that I'm no longer burning fat during the workout, because I'm working too hard (anaerobic zone)? Or does it just mean that I am still burning plenty of fat during the workout, and will just continue burning more during recovery, too?
