The exercises also get completed with a high intensity which makes the muscles grow and by reaching
the anaerobic zone it helps burn fat.
Based on the theory of the fat burning zone, if you were to work out with a heart rate between 111 and 139 beats per minute, you would burn a higher percentage of fat during exercise than if you went above that number into
the anaerobic zone.
I define it as
the anaerobic zone, or at least 75 % max heart rate.
So the question is, if an activity gets you into
your anaerobic zone, regardless of how much effort you are putting in, what do you do?
When you exceed your upper limit, you enter
the anaerobic zone, where you burn little fat, and mainly protein and carbohydrates.
If you're trying to build your aerobic base and / or recover from an injury or illness, then ideally you stay out of
the anaerobic zone.
ALso, you are forgetting to mention that when you train
your anaerobic zone, you are inherently training your aerobic because anaerobic is supported by aerobic.
When you push yourself into
an anaerobic zone during a HIIT workout, you feel that your breath is gone and your heart is pumping furiously.
In your article you said, «You need to be working out in
your anaerobic zone at maximal heart rates to really see that added fat loss effect».
How do I figure out what
my Anaerobic Zone is?
I would say if you're alternating intervals that get your heartrate up into
the anaerobic zone with intervals that are about half that time of rest or low intensity, you're performing HIIT.
The nitrate can then undergo denitrification in
the anaerobic zones.
