Intense Training Ups Post- Exercise fat Burning

Many People think slow , prolonged exercise is the best way to burn fat and get lean. Thats understandable because the body uses mainly fat as fuel at rest and at exercise intensities less than 65% of maximum capacity. It is not as simple as that , however. Well controlled Canadian studies showed that people who exercised intensely are leaner and lose fat faster than people who do low - intensity , prolonged exercise. University of Wisconsin reseachers helped clear things up when they found that rats exercising intensely burned more fat after exercise than rats exercising at low intensities. You will control body fat better if you pick up the pace when you run, cycle, walk or swim.
