Ellipital/Cardio Question

Hi everyone!

I have 30 minutes at the gym every afternoon. My personal trainer started me out on the Total Body Elliptical for 15 minutes at a resistance of 20 (lowest is 15). I am up to doing 20-30 minutes of elliptical, but here's my question--actually 2 questions.

1. I want to burn fat. That's my goal. Should I stay in the fat burning heart rate zone or go for the cardio zone? Does it matter?

2. The workout appears to be getting easier for me. Should I work harder at it (meaning faster) or up the resistance? I'm wondering if upping the resistance is only going to build more muscle rather than burn fat.

Thanks PT helpers! You rock!
