I have heard so many different things about how to burn fat when exercising and I am hoping someone can give me an answer and not just a guess. Some people have said that you need to keep you heartrate high, others have said to keep it between 90 and 120 and still others have said to raise it high for 1-2 minutes and then let it come back down for 1-2 minutes. I am 52 years old and weigh just shy of 260 and would like to lose at least 60 pounds. Also how do you figure out what your max heartrate should be.

    CArdio is great for fat burn!
    you can do daily mild cardio like walking swiftly or a light jog or HIIT training where you run like hell for 30 seconds then rest for a min then repeat.

    Other types of cardio like kickboxing or dancing is fun!

    For those that I suggest cadio to....
    If you have a primary goal of fat loss you should give it a good run where you can have a conversation but almost not....20-45mins.

    If your primary goal is fat loss with maximum lean mass retention....
    Swift walk daily for 20-30 mins
    Or
    Personally I hate cardio.
    So I Intermittent Fast!
    Its easier on my knees!

    Your max heartrate is 220 - 52 = 168.
