Ive also posted this on my diet pages but thought I might get a good response here.....
Can any one help me please. Im not sure I fully understand the way exercise and weight loss works.
I recently bought a heart rate monitor (polar ft40) I bought this one as it tells you whether your burning fat or improving fitness. I thought to be loosing wieght I would need to be working in the 'fat burning' zone.
Im currently doing the coach to 5k program, so its jogging and walking in intervals. I was under the impression this was really good for dropping the lbs!
Unfortunatly my monitor said I was burning fat just on my warm up.... As soon as I started running intervals it went up to fitness improvement and never went back (well untill I was back home recovering)
Does this mean I wont be burning fat??? Hence loosing weight???
Can some one please explain to me the difference and how it all works.
Thankyou.x
