Burning Fat veruses Calories

Question: "I read that in order to get into "fat burning phase" you have to exercise like cardio, or tread mill for 30 minutes & you don't really get the burning until after 30 minutes or so?
The longer & slower the better.

Then I read that any exercise is cumulative?

You can do 20 minutes in the morning & 20 minutes at night or even 10 minutes 3x a day for fat burning?

What is right?"

Answer:
Here is the thing. Yes, you burn fat at the lower heart rate levels and walking longer than more intensity. However, you want to burn more calories versus fat. When you burn more calories you will drop more inches.

You are burning fat right now reading this. That isn't getting you into shape though or allowing you to lose inches. This common misconception is the reason many people do not reach they goal, get frustrated and quit.

Your goal should be to burn more calories and get fitter. The machines at the gym are correct that burning fat is at the lower rate, but that is not how to reach your goal. That, in my opinion, is a wasted workout.

Get your heart rate up. Play with various intensities, sweat, breath hard, and burn the most calories you can. Make it a game to see if you can meet or beat the number of calories you burned during your last workout. Do this and you will reach your goal!

The cumulative comment is correct. It is most important to burn the most calories when releasing unwanted weight. You'll usually burn the most calories in one 60-minute workout versus two 30-minute workouts. However, two 30 minute workouts are better than one 30 minute workout. Calories burned is the goal always! :)
