Reply With Quotenot exactly sure here i have never heard that breathing hard would make you not lose fat. that very well maybe but i have never heard of it. if i want to blast on a bike and really burn calories wich by the way cardio burns calories. i make sure to hit five miles in fifteen minutes you hit that you are at a good pace with a good heart rate and your body will have done a good workout use the next five to cool down.

Cardio Interval Training Question?
Hello,
When doing Interval Cardio Training for weight loss on a stationary bike: It’s been my understanding that you shouldn’t push yourself to where you are breathing hard because it forces the body NOT to burn fat. If this is correct, then you must remain under a certain intensity to avoid going into an aerobic state.
When I increase my speed (which increases heart rate) during a, for example: one minute interval, when I drop back to a normal(?) speed I begin to (actually have to) breathe through my mouth for a few breaths. Is this acceptable? Or do I need to adjust some variable?
Does anyone have any suggestions about this? I hope I’ve described well enough!
Thanks Walt1

Trust me when I tell you this... The "fat burning zone" is bullshit.
For true interval training (check my journal, you'll see) you go completely AWOL-bonkers-crazy-bazerk for 30sec/1min (whatever duration you like) until it feels like your heart is going to pop out of your chest, then back off. Go back to a modest pace until you get your breath back (don't let your heart drop too much... just enough to get your breath back), then do it again.
HIIT rocks! I do it with my circuit training too.Used to.. DL:375lb, Sqt:335lb, Bnch:260lb

true intervals are whatever you make them out to be. They are not always (and should not always be) balls-to-the wall. In fact, depending on your resistance training program, to much High intensity interval training could be a downfall in your program. Learn to establish a clear outline of what you want to do and manage your stressors.
