You're right Magic. But I do have a question that has confused me from the beginning. You mentioned monitoring
heart rate, and we both know it should be between 60%-75% to burn
fat, but how do I know when I am achieving that HR level? I feel if I all out sprint, I won't be able to maintain it for more then the alotted time to burn
fat, but at the same time if I am going too moderately, I feel I won't get results or burn very much. How does one know when they are at the proper HR level to burn
fat?
I like to jog for 5 minutes, then walk fast for 5 minutes etc... alternating speeds (as I cannot jog for very long), but I am afraid when i slow to a fast walk from a jog I am no longer in that HR level of 60%-75%. A lot of people say we usually are most of the time, unless we are just walking or biking casually, then maybe we are only using 40%-50%.
What is your input? Anyone else is welcome too.
