Builtlean: The Fat Burning Zone Myth: Don't Be Fooled

Also, for my cardio:

I do intervals of 1 minute in 3 stages. I do this for about 15-30 minutes depending on my energy level and how much sweat I'm losing.

Eliptical - I ramp it up after each set of 3.

Set 1 - Level 1 for 60 seconds at speed 5, level 4 for 60 seconds at speed 7, level 8 for 60 seconds at speed 8.

Set 2 - Level 1 for 60, level 5 for 60, level 10 for 60

Set 3 - Level 1 for 60, level 6 for 60, level 12 for 60

Set 4 - Level 1 for 60, level 7 for 60, level 14 for 60

Set 5 - Level 1 for 60, level 8 for 60, level 16 for 60

I do those sets back to back with no breaks obviously. The level 1 sections are my recovery periods. After 15 minutes I am sweating like a pig and usually pretty exhausted. Sometimes I go longer and don't ramp up quite so fast becasue level 14 and 16 on the eliptical are hard to keep up!
