2.
Does a short workout at high
intensity burn more calories
than a long workout at a
moderate intensity?
3. • Research shows that
HIIT training (short,
high-intensity
interval workouts)
burn MORE calories
than longer, lower
intensity aerobic
workouts.

4. • The body burns fat
(adipose tissue and
triglycerides) for low-
intensity workouts.
• The body burns
carbohydrates for it’s
main source of fuel in
high-intensity workouts.
5. The body can not oxidize fat fast
enough to sustain high-intensity
exercising.
6. However when carbs are
depleted, triglycerides are
unconfined from fat cells to
supple additional energy to
fuel activity.
7. For example…
• Your hot neighbor
weighing 110
pounds is running
down your street at
7 mph, burning 314
calories in 20
minutes.
9. Remember…
• High-intensity workouts
will fatigue you faster,
making your workout
seem shorter. For a full
rounded healthy workout
use a combination of
both.
10. Can I spot reduce
my fatty areas?
Yes bu
mainly t
no….
11. The body burns fat by breaking
down into free fatty acids used
for energy. While working out
your body takes the energy
from all over the body, not
one specific area.
12. Example…
• You want to have rock
hard abs for when you
take your shirt off to
impress the other girl next
door.
• So you do 500 crunches
every workout..
13. • Some of you guys will do the
old fashion crunches on the
ground bringing your head
to your knees.
15. • Others will use an
isometric v-sit
technique.

16. All these ways will
help you use some
energy from the
stomach area but
mostly from all over
my body.
17. This means you will be eliminating
your waistline area a bit and
gaining muscle underneath the fat.
So you have to actually lose that
weight or else your hard earned abs
won’t even show!
18. To reduce overall
body fat try
focusing on diet,
weight training
and of course
cardio.
19. If I work out a lot, can I eat
whatever I want?
YES!
However…
20. This isn’t a very healthy
way to fuel your body.
Some of you may
choose to work out
instead of eliminate
certain fatty foods.
21. Eating whatever you
want though can
lead your body to
feel heavy and not
energized.
It’s always a good
idea to eat a
healthy balanced
diet.
22. If I do a lot of sit-ups will
I get rid of my belly fat?
23. This questions brings us back
to the spot reduction. Your
body will burn the fat but not
completely from your abs.
24. Although mentally you
want all that fat from your
abs to be gone, your
body doesn’t realize this
and continues to use fat
from all storage
throughout your body.
25. How
