run on an empty stomach, and be around 70% of your max heart rate.

just remeber to do only 60%-70% of your maximum heart rate (220-age - i think ), if you go over that you may start to break down muscle.

Cardio went good for me this morning, you are right geoneo
To find your target heart rate....220-age * .6 or.7
For me it is 220-25= 195 * .7 = target heart rate of 136.5 (136)
This is at 70% of my max heart rate, range should be around 65-75% for 45 minutes on empty stomach and it is best to do in the morning and make sure to split your cardio and lifting up, do not do them together.

Just to reiterate, we just went over this in my personal fitness class. Cardio in morning on empty stomach at 70% MHR for 45min and youll be fine. Any more HR and youll burn muscle. I did a 5 mile ruck march this morning. It was just under an hour, I know I broke my own rules, but I gotta train like this.

is 45 minutes the optimum amount of time to shred the fat? I usually do 30 minutes(when i can), will the extra 15 minutes produce much better results?

15 extra minutes will increase your caloric expenditure and burn more fat. If you are doing cardio 4-5 days/week, yes, it will make a difference over the course of your program.
