Exercising To Burn Fat – High Intensity

We have been told over and over again from fitness professionals that exercising for a longer duration at a lower intensity is an effective tool for burning fat. When I first started teaching aerobics classes, I would explain that working above your target heart range would prevent you from burning fat as efficiently. Well, like everything else, the news has changed, and those of you who don't enjoy exercising at your maximum might consider this bad news. “Fat-burning exercise -- fit or farce?" by John P. Porcari, Ph.D., will give you answers to that burning question: high or low intensity?
