I'm not overweight but I was wondering what would burn more body fat:
long distance type of workouts with a lot of even-paced long swim sessions or sprint workouts with mainly sprint intervals.

I suspect lots of us have a burning desire to use our Physics 101 knowledge(see almost any thread involving swimming propulsion.) Calorie is useful in this context as it is the unit of energy traditionally ascribed to burning fuel,such as food and the bodily storing of energy(burning 1 gm carbs or protien gives 4 Calories,1 gm fat 9 Calories.It is generally said that you have to burn 3500 Calories to lose a pound.)
Which is the context I was using it in, before miss feisty decided it was wrong, then went back to saying it's right, or whatever she is talking aout now.
I think if I say the sky is blue, a few people here will start arguing about it and claiming it isn't.
