Hey guys,
I got a link from Skorpiozi about cardio and losing weight.
http://www.dummies.com/how-to/content/following-a-cardio-plan-for-weight-loss.htmlAccording to this webpage there is no real fat burning zone in cardio.
To quote:
'During low-intensity aerobic exercise, your body does use fat as its primary fuel source. As you get closer to your breaking point, your body starts using a smaller percentage of fat and a larger percentage of carbohydrates, another fuel source. However, picking up the pace allows you to burn more total calories, as well as more fat calories.'
Is this really true? I ask this because I was always told otherwise: 'if you want to burn fat you have to keep your heart rate in a certain zone'.
