Burning Fatvs Burning Calories
Best Weight Loss Supplement on the Markert:
https://www.digistore24.com/redir/349104/Nomcebo/
To lose weight and get in shape you must have a good diet and exercise regularly to burn
fat. The first thing you must understand about exercise is that just because you are burning
calories does not mean you are burning fat. Your main focus when you exercise should be
losing body fat, and you can’t lose body fat just from burning calories. When we exercise,
our bodies will start burning calories, but the calories that are burned are the calories from
carbohydrates in our system. To burn calories from your stored fat, your body requires the
presence of oxygen. There is a certain amount of oxygen that your body needs to start
burning fat and the only way for you to measure the amount needed for your own body is to
keep up with your target heart rate during exercise. Please understand that if you continue to
only burn calories from carbohydrates, you will lose mostly “water weight” which leads to a
decrease in your metabolism. Also, think of the calories that are burned from carbohydrates
as your energy calories. If you lose too many energy calories, your muscles will not receive
enough energy to increase your metabolism, indirectly burning fat. Therefore, you must
increase your calorie intake when you are on an exercise program to replace your burned
energy calories.
Burning Fat Calories during exercise.
During aerobic exercise, your body goes through several stages before it reaches the point
where you are burning fat. You will hear people say that you are only burning sugar
(carbohydrates) not fat during the first 10 minutes of exercise. This is true to a certain extent.
I say this because you will continue to burn sugar past the 10-minute mark if you are not
working out hard enough to want more oxygen, or you are working out too hard and can’t
supply your body with enough oxygen for fat burning. When you exercise you must move at
a steady pace (not too fast, not too slow) so your body will utilize your stored fat (not
carbohydrates or sugar) as its energy source. Also, remember that just because you
reached the fat-burning stage does not mean you will stay there. Staying at the fat-burning
stage once again depends on if you are moving at a pace that is right for your body. Make
sure that you are within your target heart rate range.
Burning Fat Calories at rest.
The only way for you to continue to burn fat calories hours after you have finished working
out is through the anaerobic exercise of weight training. Weight training is the key to burning
fat at rest. Weight training is an anaerobic activity that will cause you to burn more calories
than aerobic exercise. The calories that you are burning during weight training exercises are
mostly calories from carbohydrates (meaning you must eat even more calories per day for
energy), but the calories you burn at rest are mostly calories from fat. You are burning fat at
rest because weight training increases your metabolism, which uses your stored fat as
energy.
To make your body the ultimate fat-burning machine you must do aerobic (cardio) and
anaerobic (weight training) exercises.
