70% and 85% of their maximum aerobic heart rate, overall improvement occurs
to his or her cardiorespiratory fitness level. If a person maintains his or her heart

burning enough calories that, when continued on a regular basis for 30 minutes
or more, provides the greatest fat-burning (weight loss) benefits.
