Cathe - what's the best heart rate range?

[imapeach]

I've been working for about 4 mos to lose postbaby weight. I now weigh less than when I got pregnant with my first child, but I could still stand to lose about 7 stubborn pounds! I've been using a heart reat monitor, which I love. I feel like it helps me work out at a good pace without letting me get burned out. What I'm trying to determine is where I should be aiming for to blast those last few pounds - 65-75% for a longer period of time (45-60 min) or 75-85% for shorter period of time (30 min or so). What do you think?

...I guess the other option would be to exercise for a longer period of time in the higher range (75-85% for 45 to 60 min)!

Just as a side note, I recently had a physical and, although I haven't received the results of the blood tests yet, everything looked fine (EKG, etc). I don't expect there to be any problems.
