We all know about the importance of a cardiovascular training routine. But just running on a treadmill won't do the job. You have to maintain a “fat loss heart rate” during the workout.
Later on I'll tell you exactly how to calculate your own fat loss heart rate, but first let me tell you why it is important not to exceed it or go below it:
The effectiveness of cardio workouts is mostly dependent on your pulse during each workout. Though I can assume that you value the importance of cardio workouts. I also know that many people just run and run without any paying attention to it. Attention to your pulse is important! If you exceed your fat loss heart rate, not only do you not burn fat, You actually work against yourself.

One of the first steps you need to take when trying to achieve the goal of fat loss is figuring out what an appropriate calorie intake should be for a weight loss diet.
Unless you're eating an appropriate calorie intake, you're not going to see the results you're looking for – plain and simple.
Weight loss really can be thought of as a science – basically if you're not eating fewer calories than you burn on a regular basis, you aren't going to see fat loss happening.
This part of the equation must be there, otherwise you will either maintain your current weight or possibly even gain weight (if you're in a calorie surplus).

Which is more critical to your weight loss and fitness success, determination or motivation? Let’s look at a definition of each word:
Motivation – the state or condition of being motivated
Determination – a fixed purpose
Do you see the difference? Motivation depends largely on how we feel, while determination has a much more solid foundation – it is fixed, or unchanging in nature.
So what does that have to do with losing weight, eating healthier, reaching higher athletic performance? In a word – Everything!

What’s your biggest weight loss challenge? The diets, the consistent exercise? In whatever particular difficulty we encounter, it most often comes down to motivation. So just how do we maintain our drive? Finding the key to weight loss motivation may be all it takes to keep the pounds off for good. Take a look at these 5 recommendations for getting going and staying motivated in your quest to lose weight:
1.) Keep a Positive Attitude
So grade school did hold some valuable lessons. While it’s easy to say, remaining positive is an absolute imperative in weight loss.

The word “cardio” and “cardio workouts” are becoming a bit of a misunderstood term. Cardio is short for “Cardiovascular” meaning your heart, arteries, lungs, and muscles. For simplicity sake this is what we will consider “Cardio” to mean. Cardio has become slang for any type of workout that keeps your heart rate elevated at some steady state for a prolonged period of time, for example: running on a treadmill or an elliptical trainer. Cardio training has obvious health benefits like reduced blood pressure, increased insulin sensitivity, reduced blood cholesterol and triglycerides to name a few. These however are most likely secondary to most people who are doing cardio for the expressed purpose of burning more calories in an effort to lose fat/weight. Traditional cardio type workout may not be the best answer.
