a common misconception is that the 'fat burning zone' burns more fat than working harder. This is untrue, sure of course while working in the 'fat burning zone' you burn more % fat than anything else.. but you're hardly burning anything at all. If you work harder, run uphill at maximum intensity for one hour for example, you are burning way more fat than an hour in the 'fat burning zone'.

example; 1 hour 'fat burning zone' is burning 50calories of carbs and 100 calories of fat so you are burning 100% more fat than carbs! wow way to go!!! fat burning zone burns 100% more fat than carbs amazing!!!
example: 1 hour running up hill max intensity; you are burning 800 calories of carbs and 400 calories of fat. oh no, you burn way less % fat than carbs, you only burn half as much % fat as carbs you fail...

NO YOU DON'T FAIL if you work harder you burn 4x the amount of fat! If you work near 80%-100% of your maximum intensity and effort, you win every fucking time as long as you are consistent with eating what your body needs and not eating shit slop garbage just because it tastes good.

in conclusion, 'fat burning zone' is some shit made up by fat lazy mother fuckers who don't want to work hard.
work hard or gtfo.. newbs

i need that chair pls

that guy said he can feel it in his abs

so doing sprint intervals is good or bad?

Just eat well, that's the main thing. A half hour in the gym can be ruined by two slices of pizza.

If you're out of shape start walking. Do some weight lifting too.

My point is mainly that you need to exercise for a long period of time before you even start burning fat. You have a lot of calories to burn in the form of glycogen before you even start eating into fat.

Firaga - if you had that chair man... You'd get so many hot Asian booties...

exercise is overrated

watched it all

so i have to just eat less?

yes that's the most important thing
