There's so many variables to consider, it's not even funny.
There's a solid opinion that for maximum "fat loss" you should maintaing 65% of your MHR for 45-60 minutes. However, there's evidence that intense cardio (even though it resorts to food storage while being performed) leads to greater fat loss throughout the day rather then just walking at 65% of your MHR.
My advice, try both and see what you like better.
THR should be between 60%-75% of MHR.
Yea best thing to do is get a heart rate monitor..
do you wear ur monitor even if u go on machines that have a heart rate reading?Quote:
