fat burning

[danny1966]

ive just finished a cycle and its time to cut, what intensity is best for fat burning, ive been told that to high intensity will take off too much muscle, what do you think.

65-70 of your MHR 35-45ms

60 - 70% of maximum heart rate: This zone burns more total calories. The percent of fat calories is around 85%.

Its funny, but its not about effort! It is about where your muscles are getting their fuel from and for how long. You need 45 minutes because the first 20 or so is fuelled by glucose in the blood, and only then will fat burning start. That is assuming you are on an empty stomach also.
