burning fat

My elliptical trainer displays a "fat burning" heart rate zone;
which is mid range, implying that I will burn more fat in that zone
than I will using a higher heart rate ( a more vigorous pace). I have
also heard many people saying that you will burn more fat if you work
out at this slower heart rate.

Does that make sense? It seems to me that I will burn more calories
if I exert myself more.

You are absolutely right, the only way you can burn fat directly, is by doing continuous low/mid-level exercise over very long periods, i.e. like a multi-day Easter xc ski trip across Hardangervidda in Norway. ...
