Exercise & Weight Loss
To realize the most benefits from exercise, you should follow high-intensity training with some low-intensity exercise. That could entail taking a leisurely walk after performing resistance training. Doing so enables the fat released into the blood during the resistance training to be used up during the walk.
High-Intensity Training
High-intensity training, such as resistance training and sprinting, uses carbohydrates to fuel the exercise, causing the body to release fat from cells into the blood to potentially be used later. Due to the nature of the exercises, this type of training is not effective at using fat in the blood.
Low-Intensity Training
Low-intensity training, such as walking or slow biking, does the opposite. It is effective at picking fat out of the blood to be used, but ineffective at getting fat to release from adipose cells, which store fat.
