i was reading an artical on bodybuilding.com called slow cardio good advice or bad tech...

this was written by a pro bb called bob chicerillo..

he says that cardio should be slow he walks on a treadmill at 3mph and bike at 65rpm... you can email these pro's so i did asking him what heart rate he sticks to and his reply was he does not know??? but any where under 100bpm is good other wise your body will use carbs for fuel not fat...

so how do you know your fat burning zone??? i've tried 50-55% hr and 60-65%

at 50-55% i'm hot and skin is clamy but i'm not sweating loads...
at 60-65% i'm hot but sweat loads...

do you think 50-55% is ok or should i up it???
