    It depends on what you are looking to do. If you want to lose fat, stay in the fat burning zone. Looking for increasing your cardio or cardio training, then stick in the aerobic zone. Looking to maintain or low intensity, heart health is for you.

    I read in several places that it doesn't really matter if it's fat-burning or aerobic; it's calories in, calories out that matters.

    I kinda figure the more I do it the lower my heart rate will stay... since I started turbofire my heart rate is already coming down during workouts =)
