the slower your heart beats, the more fat you burn, the faster your heart goes, the more sugar and less fat you burn

it's a question of percentages, if your heart goes too fast then your body will start using up stored sugars for energy instead of degrading fat cells. treadmills are not really accurate in measuring heart beats. bet7ot osba3ak w it gives a number, I don't really trust it

anyway like I said, do what the coach says in the sets and repeats thingy, your exercice sounds like a balaned one for muscle building and losing weight

personnaly I am exercicing alone at home lifting weights for my hands(5 KG 16 times for 6 sets with 5 min break between them), and at night I go walking for 2 hours straight at a speed of 5 km per hour it's been 8 days now, I am not sure if I am doing the right thing, I guess I will find out in a month or so

edit: I'm gonna start going to the uni gym

another edit: I went to the gym, just got out, even my finger nails are hurting

ouch
