Why Inspired Life Fitness?
Yes, low intensity exercise uses more fat than high intensity exercise. As a percentage of calories burned, yes… this is true. But the total calorie burn per minute is low. At rest you are burning the greatest percentage of calories from fat.
As soon as you pick up the pace, CHO (carbohydrate) begins to make a greater contribution. Knowing this, does walking lead to more fat loss than running stairs for the same allotted time? No. At higher intensities, even though the percentage of fat used is lower, the total calorie burn and daily fat burn will be higher.
Higher intensity exercise is associated with an increased calorie and fat burn for many hours after the session. This is called exercise post-oxygen consumption (EPOC). This a big reason workouts at ILF are so effective! You will continue to burn calories at a much higher rate for several hours after every ILF workout.
