Faster & Harder Is Better As Far As Burning Calories & Fat

There are a lot of myths surrounding fitness and health. One enduring one is that you will burn more fat if you exercise at a moderate pace. Exercise classes in the 80s actually slowed down the pace to burn more fat. Does this work or is it just nonsense?

Basically, it's just nonsense although there may be a small smidgen of truth. With weight loss, what matters is the number of calories you burn. If you exercise harder and faster you will burn more calories and hence burn more fat. If you spend 30 minutes running fast you'll burn more fat than if you spend 30 minutes jogging at a leisurely pace. Faster and harder is better as far as burning calories and hence fat.
