The one thing that a lot of people still believe is that slow paced aerobics burns more fat by working in the "Fat Burning Zone"
It is true that you burn a higher percentage of fat when you do a run because you are in the fat burning zone. However once you are done the workout, there is no additional calories burned!
With high intensity exercise you burn a lower percentage of fat BUT overall you burn more fat and calories because you continue to burn calories even after you stopped exercises!
This continuing burn is from EPOC, excess post exercise oxygen consumption! It can last up to 48hrs!
Because of the EPOC of high intensity workouts, even though you burn a lower percentage of fat than with aerobics, you burn MORE calories and fat overall!
EX.. Would you rather have 90% of $1 or 10% of $100,000?
SO by exercising with high intensity as often as possible you will burn that body fat and lose those extra pounds!

Nutrition Corner:
Peanut butter is a good and cheap source of proteins and essential fatty acids. Protein aids in the growth and repair of muscle.
Go for ALMOND peanut butter, it is more expensive, however it contains less fat, sugar, salt!
