Have you increasingly wondered which cardio exercises are best meant for burning off additional body fat? Is walking (low intensity) better or running (high intensity) better for burning body fat?
Well, both low and high intensity exercises will help you burn off body fat. The question is which is more effective and burn additional body fat. What is your fat burning zone?
Whilst scientists at the outset reported that throughout intensive exercises, your body burned glycogen, which is a form of stored carbohydrates stored inside your liver and muscles for energy and throughout low intensive exercises, your body burned body fat, all and sundry suddenly amendtheir workout routines to carry out low intensity exercises to burn body fat.
Does it work? Apparently it does not work since there are still so many fat citizens around although they are working out with low intensity exercises aren't they, Why is that so?
Well, the scientists were accurate when they assumed that our bodies burn extra body fat in the course of low intensity exercises like walking or a leisurely swim. But in the course of a high intensity exercise like running, our bodies burn a lot more calories. Even if a few of the calories burnt are from glycogen, we will still burn many fat calories equally well.
To add icing to the cake, once your deposit of glycogen is low, the carbs from your meal you consume later gets converted into glycogen to fill up your store and will not be converted to body fat whilst left unused for energy.
Furthermore, high intensity cardio exercises crank up your metabolism even when your workout is through. This means that you body will carry on to burn body fat hours after you have left the fitness center. This effect is almost non existent in low intensity cardio or aerobic workout. Accumulatively, your body burns up many many additional calories all through and following high intensity cardio exercises than minor intensive ones.
You can inject high intensity exercises to your cardio workout by introducing a quantity of interval training. You can amble rapidly for 5 minutes, then breaking into a jog for an extra 5 minutes. Followed by walking hurriedly again until you catch your breath and afterward sprint for a minute or two before walking again for an additional minute. From this position, alternate between a dash and a stroll, a minute apiece and perform this for the next 15 minutes and you are finished.
Perform this for 5 days a week and before long, you will be steadily losing surplus body fat and weight healthily and logically.
