On the running machine I have at my gym, there is a diagram illustrating the Cardio Zone and a Fat Burning Zone and what heart rate will put you into what zone for a given age.
For my age (25) it says i should have a heart rate between 117-125 to be in the the Fat burning zone (from what i remember).
my question is, does being in one zone or the other REALLY matter that much if you want to lose fat?
If my heart rate is in the cardio zone am i not burning fat at the same time compared to hte fat burning zone? wouldn't having a higher heart rate lead to burning more calories, which leads to burning more fat compared to being in the Fat burning zone??
