With regard to which level of intensity is best for burning fat while you exercise:
At low to moderate levels of exercise (increasing your heart rate by about 50%) the body will take energy more from fat than from carbohydrates, at a ratio of around 60-40. So, yes, when you train at a moderate level of intensity, your body draws more from the energy stored in excess fat than from other sources. However, the total number of calories you burn will be relatively low, even if 60% of those are burned from fat.
When you train at high intensity, your body takes the energy more from carbohydrates than from excess fat, however, you burn more total calories, which will usually mean that you will still burn more fat than if you exercise at a moderate rate.
High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT), the type of training I recommend, and that I perform in the clips, will ultimately burn more fat in a shorter period of time than a much longer workout at a low to moderate level of intensity.
Furthermore, at a low level of intensity, you will not experience “afterburn”, which means that your body will stop burning calories as soon as you finish training. When you train at a more intense level, your body will continue to burn calories sometimes for hours after exercise, as your heart rate settles back into resting mode.
