Exercise Intensity: Should You Exercise Primarily in the "Fat-Burning Zone" to Maximize Fat Loss?
Slow down, you’re training too intensely and you need to stay in the “fat-burning zone!” The “fat- burning zone” is a popular and frequently encountered concept in fitness and weight loss. This zone refers to a specific range of heart rate, and it is often labeled on cardiovascular machines such as treadmills, or promoted by personal trainers in workout programs. What is the “fat burning zone,” and should your training primarily focus on exercising at heart rates within this zone to maximize fat loss and weight reduction?
