MODERATE PACE WALKING... how good for fat burning?

[leancuisine]

a 45 minute walk at a moderate pace will get your heartrate at around 80bpm. over 45 minutes you burn about 300 calories.
keep your caloric intake the same and walk for 12 days and that's 3600 calories or 1 pound of fat.

can any vet/expert confirm this?

300 cals in 45 mins? At that heart rate, I'm thinking less than that, but depends on weight. On an empty stomach, not too shabby. Add incline intervals, and you're talkin'!

From what i have read, best fat burning is at 60%-70% of your maximal heart rate [not the most accurate, but good enough]. As an estimation, maximal hr is 220 - age [+/- 10 beats]

So, if you are 20 years old,

Max HR = 220 - 20 = 200

60% - 70% of 200 = 120 - 140 beat pm.

So, 140 for a period of time would be best for fat burning. Of course this is estimation and is used because there is a coorelation between Max HR and VO2 max... buts that the sciency stuff i dont really know yet.

SPATTS.... so you agree with it?

FATTY..... thanks for that even though i'm past the basics.

 

[spatts]

I agree with anything that works. TRY IT OUT!

 

[leancuisine]

Personally, I think cardio's over rated. Sled dragging, sprinting, hiking...it has to be eventful for me to want to do it. 45 min on a treadmill is something I do to turture myself into a bikini once a year, if that.

how effective would this be!

ok i love running! i dunno y i just do! so when iget board or dont have crew practice i go down stairs and run on my tredmill.

i walk for 20 sec. then i put it up to its max speed 11mph so i sprint like that for 2 miles witch is 10 min. so then i speed walk to 13 min. then im at 2.25 of a mile. Then i sprint the rest of the way to 3.5 miles by that time im usually @ 19 min. then i walk to 25 then im @ 3.85 or 4 miles it says i burn 550 cals is this right or wrong?

im 15 130lbs

I don't lift during hunting season,(Sorry but it is my passion and one of the reasons I workout is to be in better shape for the season).

I dropped 12lbs during the season.I was doing about 5 miles a day over some hard terrain.

I didn't notice any real loss of strength when I got back in the gym,actually I may have been stronger as I see I've been way over training for the last year.

I'd say get a good pair of boots and get in the woods or trails.

Calories burned are not dependent on how fast you move but how far you go. The closest guideline I have seen is you burn 100 calories per mile. There is very little variation, though heavier people do burn more, because they have to move more weight. However, it is usually not much of a difference. +/- 20 calories per mile.

Treadmill caculations aren't always the most accurate either.
