Happy Friday to my FS buddies!!! I actually get 3 weekends off in a row. It's kind of nice. But, now that I know I have them off, I am getting ready to start on my list that keep accumulating things to do. But that means a little more exercise. So that is a great plus. I do have a question for everyone, and I wouldn't mind some input. FitBit sent me a new Charge HR (my Charge was actually coming apart, so I called customer service and they replaced it for me), and the heart rate monitor it has is actually pretty neat. I am curious about the "Fat Burning Zone". Normally when I do the bike/elliptical/arc trainer etc., I just go hard out. My heart rate gets up to 155-165 and when I am done it drops down to 110 pretty quick. Today I kept it between 120 and 125. This is considered my fat burning zone. Is it better to keep your heart rate in this zone as opposed to a cardio or peak zone? I am just not totally sure on that and would love some feedback.
Thanks in advance. I hope you all have an awesome weekend.

I've wondered about this, too. Supposedly 60% to 75% of your maximum heart rate is the "fat-burning zone". I've seen that figure around awhile... But it would burn fewer calories than 75% to 85% of your maximum heart rate, which they call the "cardio rate." The benefit of the FBZ is that they say that the fuel source your body uses is stored fat, rather than burning more available carbohydrates (I also read a page saying glycogen is the body's preferred source for high intensity training.). On the other hand, high intensity workouts (if you're healthy enough for them) provide better overall health benefits than, say, working out at the 55%-65% level, and allow your body to more efficiently operate. Hence, you get less tired after workouts, can raise your target zones, etc...
