Re: different definitions of 'intensity' with respect to exercise?

 Most sources say that: (1)
"low intensity" exercise burns a higher percentage of fat, and "high
intensity" exercise uses a higher percentage of glycogen; (2) "high
intensity" exercise means exercise with a higher heart rate; and (3)
weight lifting burns a high percentage of glycogen

The bottom line is higher intensity burns more fat than lower
intensity.  It maybe a smaller percentage of fat but its a smaller
percentage of a much larger number.

I know, but what's the answer to the original question about the
meaning of "intensity"? Is weight lifting considered a "high
intensity" exercise or not? By what you just said, it would be high
intensity because it's using a higher percentage of calories from
glycogen. But by the "percentage of MHR" definition used on pages
such as http://exercise.about.com/cs/cardioworkouts/l/aa022601a.htm ,
it would be low intensity.
