Default Re: Carbohydrate/Fat Use During Aerobic Exercise

Very well stated fitness freak.

But an important note to add is that the one of the other fuels being burned at high intensity are muscle. People workout at low intensity to burn fat while preserving muscle.

Is intensity a function of heart rate while exercising compared to max/resting heart rate? Low intensity being a small increase in bpm, high intensity being near/pushing your max? Or is it a measure of something else entirely? I exercise quite a lot but I'm not that knowledgable about this side of it.
