“?” about fat burning zone/cario and working too hard!!!

Sunday, November 30th, 2008

This seems to be a simple question but ive heard complex answers….can SOMEONE simplify it for me? My goal is to lose 35 pounds.I am just now addressing diet and healthy eating approaches (better late than never).
I have been working out often at high intensity.Lately Im also adding more strength training as well.
My question is…How important is staying in the "fat burning zone"? My target heart rate for fat burning 60-70% is only 110-125 bpm . I love to exercise and have a hard time SLOWING it down once Im on a roll and I think my heart rate is probably near 130-150?? Am I actually working TOO HARD and rendering my workouts less effective?

SOMEONE please answer!! LOL   Thanks  :)
