Fat Burn vs. Calorie Burn

To lose weight and get fit, you need to eat well and exercise regularly to burn fat. The first thing you need to know about exercise is that you don't burn fat just because you burn calories. Your main focus when exercising should be to lose body fat, and you can't just burn calories and lose body fat. When we exercise, our body begins to burn calories, which are the calories from the carbohydrates in our system. Your body needs oxygen to burn calories from your stored fat. There is a certain amount of oxygen your body needs to start burning fat, and the only way you can measure the amount your own body needs is to catch up with your target heart rate while exercising. That is. Understand that if you continue to burn only calories from carbohydrates, you will mainly lose "water content" and your metabolism will decrease. Also, think of the calories burned from carbohydrates as energy calories. If you lose too much energy calories, your muscles will not get enough energy to boost your metabolism and will indirectly burn fat. Therefore, when participating in an exercise program, you need to increase your calorie intake to replace the burning energy calories. 

 Fat Burning Calories During Exercise 

 During aerobic exercise, the body goes through several steps before reaching the point of burning fat. During the first 10 minutes of exercise, you will hear people say that they only burn sugar (carbohydrates) and not fat. That is to some extent true. This is because if your body isn't exercising hard enough to require more oxygen, it will continue to burn sugar for more than 10 minutes. Or, you're training too much to get enough oxygen into your body to burn fat. When exercising, you need to move at a constant pace (not too fast, not too slow) in order to use the fat (not carbohydrates or sugar) that your body has stored as energy. Also, keep in mind that just because you've reached the stage of fat burning doesn't mean you'll stay there. Again, staying in the fat burning stage depends on whether you are moving at a pace that suits your body. Make sure you are within your target heart rate zone. 

 Resting Fat Calories Burning 

 The only way to keep burning fat calories hours after training is to do weight training anaerobic exercise. Strength training is the key to burning fat at rest. Strength training is an anaerobic exercise that burns more calories than aerobic exercise. Most of the calories you burn during strength training are from carbohydrates (that is, you need to consume more calories per day for energy). However, most of the calories burned at rest are from fat. The reason you burn fat at rest is that strength training promotes metabolism and uses the stored fat for energy. 

 To turn your body into the ultimate fat burning machine, you need to do aerobic (aerobic) and anaerobic (weight training) exercises.
