Interesting and well presented. I do think the 'fat burning zone' over complicates the issue of weight/fat loss for many. Your point about the 3 hours per week or 6x 30 minute session of activity a week I tend to explain to client as the cumulative calorie count. eg. 200 calories per activity session 3 times per week is a cumulative 31200 kcals per year. Assuming the accepted 9kcal per gram fat this is potentially over 7Ibs of fat per year! Walk to work, clean the car, just as effective!
This is fantastic really flips the lid on what we have been taught on how to lose weight, a friend of mine has done the fat burning zone and said he has lost so much body fat and dont even break a sweat on the treadmill
