Fat Burning Zone?
Despite what is written on your treadmill, and various other fitness equipment for that matter, slow, or lower intensity exercise does not put you in some “magical” fat burning zone; this notion was made popular by treadmill manufacturers in order to keep health club members on their treadmills longer, requiring many gyms to purchase more treadmills in order to keep club members satisfied in regards to treadmill availability.
Clearly stated: 30 minutes of high intensity exercise on a treadmill will burn more calories than 30 minutes of low intensity exercise on the same treadmill, in the same conditions; obviously burning overall calories and not regaining them through consumption post workout is integral to maintaining or losing weight.
