      Congratulations
      Keep at it and do both.

      You will lose weight and get fitter whatever you do! You are doing really well going to the gym and exercising more. My advice (based purely on my own experience) would be to go into it slowly and build up your stamina and fitness, I think sometimes we go too hard to start with then it puts us off! So you could start doing the fat burn profile for a month, then change it to the fitness one?!

      Let us know how you get on!

      Ignore the zones thing on your HRM. Zone training has been debunked. Just get in a good workout and you will burn calories and fat.
