Reply With QuoteWell, I do agree with you....but the theory behind it is "aerobic" vs. "anaerobic" exercise. Weight lifting is said to be the latter.
Aerobic exercise being a state of increased cardiovascular activity, that is sustained for at least 15 - 20 minutes or longer. Using a large muscle group, rhythmically, while maintaining 60-80% of your maximum heart rate

Who said you can't burn fat lifting weights!
Got one of those pulse rate watches and thought I'd bring it to the gym for my weight workout, it was leg day.
On each lift, my pulse went up to 135-160BPM on all lifts. Calves were lower but Squats and Leg press were the highest, anywhere form 145 to 165. My pulse went back down to 90-100BPM between sets.
So this leads me to beleive that you can in fact burn fat while lifting. On leg day anyway.

Scotty , I think gym based cardio sucks in general.
Console yourself with the fact that by increasing your lean muscle mass and regularly stimulating thosee muscles with weight training you are burning fat!

If you go to musclemedia.com you can read an article by Shawn Phillips on HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training). Scotty I think you're right to an extent. Appearantly, they've found that periods of going from high to low heart rate does help burn fat.
