Resistance Bands used on BL Boot Camp DVD

Heart Rate, Weight Loss and Calories
I am so confused. I have been reading that a lower intensity workout burns more fat. Higher intensity tends to burn muscle. I am having a hard time keeping my heart rate up. When I run at a speed of 5.3 on the treadmill I can maintain a 155 HR but the second I slow down to a fast walk / jog my HR drops within a minute to…

Stationary Bikes?
I just bought a bike because I felt like switching it up is good. However, I don't do weight lifting much anymore so Im afraid that just doing bike isn't as beneficial. If I do an hour of biking, how much walking should I incorporate? I don't feel my upper body is going to be worked with just using the bike.
