Your friend Sara is trying to lose some weight and has been working out at the gym five days per week. She monitors her heart rate and tries to stay within the fat-burning zone of 65 to 73 percent of her maximum heart rate
Frustrated that she has not lost any weight, she asks you to research information about the fat-burning zone and explain to her why you think she is not losing weight. Provide your response to Sara below.
What will be an ideal response
If you are trying to lose weight, an overall calorie deficit is necessary. Although fat is used for fuel at a lower exercise intensity, a higher amount of total calories can be burned, promoting greater weight loss, when exercise intensity increases.
