TRT effect on fat burning zone heart rate

Worried

New Member
I am curious what effect TRT has on our fat burning heart rate zone. It changes with age, but does our t level effect it at all?

Muscle tissue actin/myosin is metabolically active as oppose to body fat which is stored energy and having healthy/optimal testosterone levels would allow one to more easily attain lean muscle gains from weight training when consuming an adequate diet and the more muscle you add to your frame the more calories you would burn. Roughly for every new pound of muscle tissue (actin/myosin) added you would burn roughly an extra 50-100 calories without lifting a finger!
 
Let me be more specific. When doing cardio exercises, bike, walking, jogging, etc. Will our testosterone levels effect the "heart rate range" that we burn fat vs when we are in the "anaerobic heart rate range"?

Don't worry too much about staying within the ideal fat burning zone. It's more effective to focus on the total caloric expenditure of your training session instead.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
