If you are like many people who use cardio exercise equipment at home or at the gym, you have seen the settings on the machine that display the fat burning zone. You probably have targeted the length and intensity of your exercise to stay within this zone so you can lose weight quickly.

Typically, what this fat burning zone does is keep the intensity of your exercise in a zone that is fairly easy to maintain vs the other settings. This is because the fat burning zone is setup for people to exercise slower and less intense than is possible as this burns more fat. Some of the best fitness and exercise experts agree with this.

Now, that isn’t to say there isn’t merit in that, but using it as a hard and fast rule when picking the best exercise to lose weight quickly could have a negative impact on your weight loss goals. Too many people get caught up in the fat burning zone as they believe that in order to lose weight what they need and want to lose is fat, and only fat.

Instead you should be focusing on the total number of calories you are burning. If you burn enough calories with the right type of exercises and workouts, you are almost guaranteed to be burning more than enough fat.

You need to find exercises that push your limits but do not overtax you. The best exercises are the ones that you are able to do but find that they tire you out.

I am aware that during workouts your BP is elevated…but if you want to lower your bp…can you do weightlifting to lower it or does that not work? Is cardio the only thing that works?

I usually do atleast 45-60 minutes of cardio and then I do weights. Would I benefit more if I did it the other way around? I am trying to lose the extra weight like maybe 20 pounds that is so difficult to get rid of on my arms legs butt stomach. I would like it if someone had any more tips, thanks!!

I want to start doing my weightlifting and cardio in the mornings before school. What would the best way to do it? Should I eat before the entire work out.

Everytime I add cardio to my weightlifting routine I burn out. I have a mesoendomorphic bodytype and I need to shed some bodyfat. Anyone have any good cardio routines they’ve added onto their weight training?

Which of these is more effective in burning stomach fat for a guy: doing ab exercises, weightlifting or cardio?

I am trying to lose some weight, as well as build some muscle. I heard that it is not good to do both Cardio and Weightlifting in the same workout. Is this true? I feel that sometimes even after I am done weightlifting i could squeeze out 20 minutes on the treadmill.

I want to be strong so I lift weights. I’m only 13 so I only lift 30-60 pounds.(Depends on how I’m feeling) But I also want to lose weight so I do cardio. Should I do cardio and weightlifting on the same day or should I be focusing on one area?Also, which one should I do more of?
