Low intensity is the correct answer here. But wait there’s more. High intensity on an elliptical/treadmill is for cardiovascular fitness. Some weight loss will take place here but it is not maximized.Your optimal fat burning range is about 70-80% of your maximum heart rate. This allows you to not get out of breath and over work yourself while being able to steadily burn fat. In this range is where you’ll be converting and burning your stored body fat as fuel. Over all I would advise a great combination of high and low intensity exercise. In other words don’t just go to the gym and hang out on the elliptical. Ask a trainer about circuit training and other forms of exercise training that will allow for variety.
