Why the Fat-Burning Zone is BS Feb 03, 2020

Show notes

“Fat Burn” – It’s a standard program on most pieces of cardiovascular equipment: Treadmills, ellipticals, steppers and more have had this built-in workout option for decades, because, let’s face it, fat-loss is a top exercise goal.

Listen to this episode of Fitness Disrupted to find out why the fat-burning zone is complete “fuzzy math” and may be the very thing keeping you from achieving your weight-loss goals.
