A lot of research has been done in burning fat during a cardio session, it is recommeded to keep your heart rate 65-80% of your maximum heart rate for burning up fat.
80%-90% for cardio training.
formula used 220- age (50) =170, 170 X 0.65 = 110.5 beats for minute
170 X 0.8 = 136 bpm
The body does burn a higher percentage of calories from fat in the 'fat burning zone' or at lower intensities. But, at higher intensities, you burn a greater number of overall calories which is what you should be concerned about when trying to lose weight.
Somebody burns more total calories and more fat calories at a higher intensity. This isn't to say that low intensity exercise doesn't have it's place. In fact, endurance workouts should be a staple of a complete fitness program along with shorter, higher intensity workouts or even interval workouts is a great way to burn calories and build endurance.
Goodbye Couch! Fitness is great @ burning up extra calories/energy that people would not be doing usually doing, this program has short periods of high intensity cardio and increasing local muscular and building up strength in your whole body. It is all about being more active and getting off the couch, so levels may so longer than twenty minutes depending on the individual fitness and strength levels.
