FAT BURN or CARDIO option when doing CARDIO?!?!
Ok, I'm somewhat new to the whole cardio thing. I've always been about putting on size. It's the summer and I gotta put together a little experiment. I did a clean bulker my previous cycle doing cardio 30min ED. I will be doing 45min ED now and I'd like to know from you guys when you step on that machine what are the usual options you choose? Fat burn? Cardio? Fit Test? Steady HR? I was doing Cardio 45min trying to keep my HR at 135-151 but I felt that I lost way too much size. Let me know what you guys think so I can begin doing that.

I usually do fat burn or manual. I keep my heart rate between 115-125 for 45-60 minutes when i do cardio. Above 130 is too high IMO...

Yeah, I feel ya bro. I just put on my little radio and get lost in the music. I hate doing cardio with my partner. He always has this "I wanna get off this crap" vibe which ruins my zone. LOL Bastard!

well i'm 22, 225lbs and my target HR for "fat burn" is around 129..so to keep it around there i walk on a treadmill at about, 3.2-3.5 mph for 45-60 mins

go w/ manual foo,
its all about heart rate regulation...
ESPECIALLLLY to preserve muscle mass
keep it Low 60-70%MHR for 45min-hour last thing you want is to resort to protein for fuel.
as long as its mild pace, consistant HR%, in the morning, empty stomache, and 45min+ its gonna get excellent results.

training is specific...if you were training to be fit to play basketball you would train at fast, and then slower intervals because of the running, slowing down, and running again included in a game....anyway, for fat burn you should run a good 45 min at 65 or 70% of your maximum heart rate so 220-(your age) x .65 or .70

Manual, so you can maintain your correct target heart rate.

the one thing i have to say about my gym is that all you have to do is punch in where you want your HR to be, and it will adjust automaticlly i.e if you want your maximum HR to be 130 the machine will adjust to either slow down speed up or go on an incline accordingly
