How old are you? If you're 25, that would be your target heart rate. There's not that much difference in our math.
HITT is great, the principle is not the same, but whatever works for you, then do it.
I've been a personal trainer and training people for over 15 years and I don't like telling people what to do, I just get them where they want to be.
As of right this minute, my b/f is 3.5% and will be less come the Master's Nationals in Pittsburgh
In either event, cutting fat's not easy and I sure don't play games doing it.
