Hola!

Ok here's the deal...It takes 20 minutes to get to the "fat burning zone." Anything after that will be fat burn if you stay within your target heart rate. You dont have to do 2 hours a day. Exercise is cumulative so it can be broken up during the day. Obviously your results will be slower if you stick to the bare minnimum. The more you shake things up and challenge yourself and your body; the more calories and fat you will burn. It will also help with endurance building and building your self esteem as well. Crazy workouts are ok; but the ones that are most beneficial for weight loss are when you stay within target range. Otherwise you are burning the wrong stuff. The crazier the workout the hungrier you will be afterwards.

Feel free to ask any questions you might have.
When I was on task; I went from 214-145.2 (not there now; but I did do it once). Crazy weight loss and fad diet loss is never long term. You will fight harder to keep what you fought to achieve on your own vs if it was just handed to you in a pill or other quick fix.

Best of luck!
