Make your cardio more effective. A lot of cardio machines have special "zones" for you to train in, but a machine can't tell how hard you're working. To get the most out of cardio, remember that your theoretical maximum heart rate is the number 220 minus your age. And no matter what type of cardio you're doing, you should never work to higher than 90% of that maximum. By contrast, if you're working below 60% of your max heart rate, you¿re not likely to put much of a dent in your fat stores.
Example:
For a 32-year old man, 90% looks like this:
220 - 32 = 188
188 x. 90 = 170 (your maximum target heart rate)
188 x. 60 = 112.8 (your minimum target heart rate)
