(Or anyone else who can help) I am reading Debra Waterhouse's book, "Outsmarting The Female Fat Cell" right now and was wondering something. She talks over & over about how important it is to workout at a moderate pace rather then what she calls, overexercising. According to her formula, I need to work between 108-129 beats per minute to stay in my "fat-burning" zone. Sorry, so lengthy. I guess my question is, if I go by my PRE, I am working waaaay lower then what I am used to. My endurance level is very good. For instance, I have taken up jogging the past few weeks and I find it very hard to stay at 129 beats or lower. It is much easier for me to jog at a higher pace. I am trying REAL hard to get rid of a layer of fat that covers my thighs and be able to see the muscle better. Soooo, am I better to stay at the 129 & lower if I definitley want to lose this fat or go more by my PRE?? Hope I'm clear in my question. Thanks for any advice.
