HOW THE BODY BURNS FAT

HOW THE BODY BURNS FAT.

How the body burn fat in the first place. The body uses energy in form of adenosine triphosphate to burn fat or what is called ATP.

Depending on our level of activity the body may choose to use fat or carbs for energy.

That's the main point, the body can choose fats or carbs and we want the body to choose fats so that we can lose them.

So, how can we let the body choose fat? It is very simple just by letting our bodies move to the fat burning zone. I talked about the fat burning zone in detail in one of my posts so be sure to check that out.

When the body is in the fat burning zone it is then able to burn fat. It is usually between 60% and 70% of our normal heart rate. You can check your fat burning zone in my post about how to find your fat burning zone.

A lot of us tend to confuse between fat and carbs. Doing HIIT makes the body use carbs for energy in place of fat. This is why HIIT is not recommended if you want to slim down. LISS uses fat for energy that is why it is the best if you want to lose fat. I talked in detail about HIIT and LISS in detail too in one of my posts.

So, in the simplest words possible, you want to make sure each time you work out you push your body to the fat burning zone so that you can actually lose fat.

Done for now, See you later.

WORKOUTS THAT CAN BULK UP

I must start by saying that there is no workout that can be regarded as a 'bad' workout and you should avoid it because it will bulk you up. It all depends on how much you keep doing it and what muscles are mostly used. In today's blog post, let's talk about the kind of workouts that when overdone are likely to add muscle. Squats Lunges High Knees Traditional HIIT(that which includes loads of jumping) Running up a hill Using the elliptical and stair master Lifting heavy weights Jumping rope To know exactly how they add bulk please read this post here A lot of the above workouts focus so much on the quads and hamstrings. They will probably overwork these muscles leading them to grow bigger. Maybe too much than your liking. The key here is not to avoid them but to do them in moderation. If you do a squat as a warmup. Then that is probably not a big problem. If you do HIIT twice a week, that is also acceptable. Want to know which workouts will not bulk you up. Click Here
