Unlike some may believe, the true intention of aerobic activity is not simply to burn excess calories! In fact, the dozens of aerobic machines and heart monitors that focus on "calories burned" falsely lead one towards believing "X" quantity of calorie expenditure equates with fat loss (which is not the case). In fact, the purpose of aerobic activity is to prime the body's hormonal system to burn stored fat as energy, and one can in fact disrupt the fat burning process when performing aerobic activity improperly!. If the goal were to simply burn calories, weight training, which can expend a considerably greater level of energy when compared to aerobic exercise, should be the fat burning activity of choice. Yet, all who achieve sculpted, chiseled bodies concentrate on both aerobics and weight training; why then, do they not simply focus on resistance activity to promote low body fat levels? Simple -- because weights tone and firm (build) muscle, while aerobic activity trains the body to burn fat! Thus, in order to derive fat loss benefit from aerobic exercise, one must shy away from the idea of simple caloric burn, instead embracing a properly constructed aerobic activity approach which encourages a constant release of stored fat (due to the body's hormonal response to such stimulus). Why follow common conventions that simply will lead to failure?

In summary, the goal of aerobic exercise is not to simply burn calories! Remember, fat burning and weight loss results from proper implementation of aerobic exercise and [more importantly] diet (which is the key to consistent, permanent fat burning results).
