Cardio vs. Weight Loss?
I hope I can explain this in a way that's understandable. On the elliptical trainer I use, there are 2 heart rate target zones. The lower one is for "weight loss" and the higher rate is for "cardiovascular". My question is this. I can keep my heart rate far into the cardiovascular zone (around 150) without any pain or discomfort for a 45 minute workout. With my goal being losing weight in the most efficient and quickest manner, would I be better served staying in the lower zone for a longer workout, say an hour? Or would I be better served staying where I am. I'm a bit confused on this topic.
