do you even know what aerobic and anaerobic energy means? fat is one source of energy. it has 9 calories per gram. it is an aerobic energy source (just like certain blood glucose), meaning it cannot be used unless oxygen is present. to speed up this process, you need to do something aerobically. why do you think you breathe hard during exercise? the mitochondria in your muscle cells are screaming for oxygen to keep up with the energy demands of the muscles. |
Why dont you recommend
HIIT? Because it elevates metabolism for up to two days after the session and can be done in less than 15 minutes?
Weight loss is about burning more
calories than you take in, so why are you saying "lets burn
fat?"
