I generally use the elliptical trainers 3-4x a week. I recall the trainer at my "Y" told me that the "fat burning" setting doesn't indicate a slower pulse rate burns more fat than the faster setting (usually called "cardio"). I think it means that at the lower level you are still getting some benefit in burning calories, but not the sustained "cardio workout" that doctors recommend for some people to improve heart health. After 25-30 minutes at the 80% heart rate target for a cardio workout (in the 130's - I am 57) I am sweating and tired but not nearly as exhausted as you describe yourself. Of course, YMMV.
