Forget the whole fat burn thing. The reason they have that is because theoretically a person burns more fat in that range. The thing is, what matters ultimately for fat lose is burning calories, and a higher intensity (the fitness range) will do that just a well and will burn fat too. Someone here linked a really good article explaining it not to long ago, but I can't remember what topic it was under.
