Lach S asked:
I hear low intensity is good for fat burning, but high intensity intervals burns less fat but more total calories all up, now i dont need to lose weight, i just need to burn off some access fat. So if low intensity is aimed at more fat burning would it be better as apposed to high intensity which burns more total calories which would be used morely for weight loss, not fat loss?
Thanks.

iv’e been told by a friend of mine who is a personal trainer that to burn fat you need to get your heart rate up. so probably more higher intensity training i would guess. im trying to lose excess fat to lol its hard.

Either or both will work. You are ALWAYS using a mix of fat and carbohydrate as fuel.
Most athletes use a combination of high and low intensity in their training.
Obviously, you have to go for longer periods of time at low intensity to burn the same number of calories.
