Exercise and fitness: the fat-burning zone

Self-tutoring about exercise and fitness: the tutor looks up the meaning of “fat-burning zone.”

Exercise equipment has suggested to me that the optimal pace for fat burn is lower than max.

Apparently, the “fat burning zone” is around 60-75% of maximum intensity. The reason is that, at lower intensity, the body has time to break down fat to supply energy; at higher intensity, it prefers other fuel more quickly supplied.

After a higher-intensity workout, however, other transformations continue to happen which may lead to fat reduction.
