How to hit on the cute girl/guy on the treadmill next to you?
Ah, that got your attns! Actually, my real question is: what's better to burn fat, doing cardio at 65% intensity or nearly 80%?
I know on the treadmills and the bikes at the gym, it says for fat burn, go at 65, cardio, do 80%. Whats the deal with that? Thanks.

2) 80% you burn many more fat calories in the same amount of time you would doing 65%. You also burn more muscle. But the thing is you continue to burn calories after your done working out as opposed the amount you would after you were at 65%
the basic idea is attaining a negative energy balance. . so you consume lower calories than you burn...
coming to the carbs.. the more simple carbs you eat.. (also known as high glycegemic carbs) like white rice, white bread, sugar, etc... it raises ur insulin level.. higher the insulin level.. you're body becomes better at storing fat.. (in other words u become fatter.. )
bottom line.. eat plenty of protien.. moderate fat(low on saturated fat) and eat complex carbs.. like whole wheat bread, veggies, fruits, and all other fiber containing food..
and don't eat really big meals.. eat 5 small meals moderatly spaced out during the day...
hope that helps ..
even better try: H.I.I.T (High Intensity Interval Training) Meaning you alternate between high and low intensity for bout 20 mins .. for instance .. you warm up for 5 mins first .. followed by one min of high intensity (thats 8-10mph for me.. but it should be something that almsot gets you out of breath.. 80 or more heart rate) followed by one min of low intensity.. slow jog .. and alternate between these two for bout 20 mins...
this has proven to be a great fat burner.. i could point you to articles proving it's efficeincy on this...
its about efficiency in fat burning. you do burn a higher percentage of fat at a lower rate. yet absolute numbers wise you are better off at the higher end. on the other hand..you might get sick of the exercise at such a high pace and quit earlier.
as far as vo2 max and performance characteristics however...you MUST work out at the higher levels.
