I prefer the first one, but its up to you obviously. If you use this way it takes about 10 minutes to get to your target heart rate, and keep it there for about a half hour. This way you can lose only 10 pounds and look like you lost 25. Good luck |
Higher intensity cardio may burn a lower percentage of calories from fat, but it will burn more calories overall, and more calories from fat per unit time, than lower intensity cardio.

Also, going to higher intensity cardio has a better training effect -- either for endurance (if you do cardio at the high end of the aerobic zone) or sprints (if you do anaerobic sprint intervals /
HIIT).
