Burning Fat Vs Burning Calories
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're burning calories doesn't mean you're burning fat. Your main
focus when you exercise should be losing body fat, and you ca n’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. In order to burn calories from your stored fat, your body
requires the presence of oxygen. There's a certain quantum of oxygen that your
body needs in order to start burning fat and the only way for you to measure
the quantum demanded 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'll lose substantially “ water weight ” which
leads to a drop in your metabolism. Also, suppose of the calories that are
burned from carbohydrates as your energy calories. If you lose too important
energy calories also your muscles won't admit enough energy to increase your
metabolism which laterally burn fat. thus you must increase your calorie input
when you're 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're burning fat. You'll hear people say that you're only burning
sugar( carbohydrates) not fat during the first 10 twinkles of exercise. This is
true to a certain extent. I say this because you'll continue to burn sugar past
the 10 nanosecond mark if you aren't working out hard enough for your body to
want further oxygen; or you're working out too hard and you ca n’t supply your
body with enough oxygen for fat burning. When you exercise you must move at a
steady pace( not too presto, not too slow) so your body will use your stored
fat( not carbohydrates or sugar) as its energy source. Also flash back that
just because you reached the fat burning stage doesn't mean you'll stay there.
Staying at the fat burning stage formerly again depends on if you're moving at
a pace that's right for your body. Make sure that you're 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 exertion that
will beget you to burn further calories than aerobic exercise. The calories
that you're burning during weight training exercises are substantially calories
from carbohydrates( meaning you must eat indeed further calories per day for
energy); but the calories you burn at rest are substantially calories from fat.
The reason you're burning fat at rest is 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.
