Wednesday Wisdom

Fat Burning Myth
 The myth in fat burning is that you have to burn fat to lose fat. What matters is the total calories you burn, not the type of calories you burn.
It may be counterintuitive, but there is no connection between using fat as an energy source and losing fat from your body. Even if this were true, you could burn more fat in your cardio zone than in the supposed fat burning zone simply because more calories are burned at a higher intensity.
The most important aspect of weight loss is managing total calorie intake and output. There are ways to boost your metabolism (by eating small frequent meals, increasing total body muscle mass, varying your exercise routine) but prioritizing low intensity exercise is not one of them.


So you know what that means, do MORE burpees!!!!

Happy Wednesday!!
