For some, the fat burning zone is a myth. Dr Denis Boucher presents results from basal metabolic rate and VO2max tests and demonstrate the positive impact that training in the fat burning zone can have on your metabolism. With these results you will be able to decide if the fat burning zone is a myth or something you would like to work with.
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!
