Fitbit’s aren’t accurate. If you want a more accurate reading (which will still not be 100%) you need a heart rate monitor with chest strap - such as a PolarSo you’re saying my Fitbit is wrong?
Anyways idk how these things really work but basically it tracks my calories burned and uses my weight and heart rate to calculate it. The reason why I asked was bc I’ve been staying in my target heart rate for 100% fat burn. Yesterday, I decided to up my workout and ended up with 79% fat burn and the rest was cardio but I burned more calories.
My question is should I continue to intensify my workouts and burn more calories or stay within my target heart rate and burn just fat for long term? The calories burned are about a 400 difference for the same amount of time exercised...
And the whole fat zone is silly. Sure you can work at a low effort for an hour and burn 250 cals, 125 (50%) of which are “fat” or you can work hard, improve your cardiovascular system, burn 450 cals in that hour of which “only” 33% (150) are “fat”. Your percentage may have dropped but you burned more cals overall, more “fat” and worked to improve your aerobic fitness.
just challenge yourself for as long as you can.
Edit: and if trying to lose weight, I’ve always found doing a mix of cardio works best, a few days of low impact, low intensity cardio like an hour long walk, a day or two of low impact yet high intensity like walking hills/stairs for ~15-30 mins, then a day or two of HIIT to really increase cardio capacity and engage muscle

who told him this was a good idea
when i took the year from lifting in 2018...i'd do 3 HIIT cardio circuit workouts..they were brutal and long
....pain is love 
but that weight came offDid legs last night, starting to get used to the banded workouts, but I had my tempo on the single leg squats too fast..
Went ahead and copped another set of bands just in case.
Ate like crap so far, so I think today's gonna be a quick chest/press day.
