Workouts with best results?
I thought about doing high intensity for burning fat and keeping myself tone. I'm not in the market for building massive muscle yet, just trimming down. Whadya think?

Don't worry about building too much muscle. It's harder than you'd think.

@Doomflower just burning fat. I have a stocky build but I hate going shirtless. I mean I'm not fat but I don't like the pudge. Plus I dont like that I get winded so easily. Just toned muscle at this point for now

@CuddleFeesh so you want to do some light cardio at about 60-70% of your max heart rate for a minimum of 30 minutes about 3-5x a week. I would also look into strength training several times a week. With all exercise start low and go slow in increasing intensity.
Oh and the most critical thing is to watch your diet. If you want to burn fat you need to be in a calorie deficit.

Oh and to calculate your training zone:
220 - (your age) = max heart rate (MHR)
(MHR) - (Resting Heart Rate) = Heart rate reserve (HRR)
(HRR) × 0.6 = 60% target heart rate
220 - (your age) = max heart rate (MHR)
(MHR) - (Resting Heart Rate) = Heart rate reserve (HRR)
(HRR) × 0.6 = 60% target heart rate
