read says that you should maintain a paltry 90 beats per minute. How high can I go in order to lose fat and preserve muscle?

training in the "fat-burning" zone is based on a antiquated philosophy which has been proven time and time again to be less than optimum for the reduction of body fat. if you are heart healthy exercise at 75% of the VO2max. it causes the greatest increase in the resting metabolic rate for hours after the training session

Depending on your current fitness level, between 75% and 85% of your maximum heart rate for at least 30 minutes.

Max heart rate = 220-age
This gives you the max heart rate ur heart can work at before it gives out
To lose "fat mainly" work around 60% or less. The best exercise is work that gets you hot and sweaty, but not overly exhausted.

Anything higher than when you are sitting in front of the TV eating potato chips.
