The lower the volume, the higher the HR (makes sense, right?).
Now, let me tell you how i lost 50 lbs.
A)lots of cardio. I mean 5 miles run, 30 to 40 minutes elyptical, and 30 minutes of Stairmasters. You can alter them each time; just to confuse your body.
WHen you feel that you not getting results, push the limit up, or increase resistance.
Then you can tone your body by lifting weight. I don't know about you, but I don't like heavy weight. I just use light weights to tone my body.
==============================================
The experts say, do not do any more than 45-minutes of cardio at your target heart rate. The first 10-15 minutes, you just lose water.
The next 10-15 minutes, you lose body-fat.
After 45-minutes, you could start losing muscle.

What I have found is a good way too lose body-fat, is to build muscle.
Larger muscles, burn fat without exercise.
The bigger the muscles, the more fat you burn.
The biggest muscles in our body is in our butt and legs (glutes, quads, hamstrings & calfs).

I have recently started doing heavy leg presses on the Solid Leg Press / Hack Squat Machine.
It’s the only building exercise I do that I start breathing heavy because of the large muscles that are being used.

I have noticed that I have lost overall body-fat, without changing my cardio or eating habits.
Because of the larger muscles, you may gain weight, but you will loses inches in the fat-zones.

Cardio exercise, weight training and good eating habits is the key to better fitness.
