CardioWork Out Question

Hi,

I am wondering why a "fat-burning" workout is 65% of your Maximum heart rate, while a cardio workout is at 80% of your maximum heartrate. WHen i exercise at 65%, it feels likei'm not even working out or breaking a sweat. Even at 80% it's still not THAT intense. Shoudln't the higher your heart rate be, the more energy you are expending, and thus more fat you will burn?

Thanks
 
maybe there is a problem with the measurement you are using, most of the treadmills today give false readings, because at 80% of your heart rate you actually are heavily panting. Its different for everyone, so may i suggest you buy a cheap heart rate monitor from your local sport store?
