Whats the difference with the elliptical settings when it says fat burn and cardio etc? Does it really make a difference?
Hi! The fat burning setting is meant to put the heart rate at about 65% of your max heart rate. The cardio setting is meant to put your heart rate at about 85% of your max heart rate. The fat burning zone is called fat burning zone because between 60-70%, a larger percentage of the calories you burn are from fat than at 70-80%. However, at higher intensities (70-90% of your maximum heart rate), you burn a greater number of overall calories, which is what matters when it comes to losing weight.
So in a nutshell: choose any settings you like but put heavy resistance to work at a high intensity. Put your favorite upbeat music on and go. Try to do intervals: when the chorus of a song begins, go as fast as possible and get totally out-of-breath before returning to your normal pace once the chorus is over.
I never do steady state / low intensity cardio at the gym but only high intensity because I already do moderate steady cardio in my daily life. (I live in Amsterdam, in the Netherlands, I don’t have a car and many people cycle to get around town).
