Burn Fat with Low Intensity Workouts

Turns out that when the body needs energy during intense exercise it goes for the more easily metabolized food first: carbohydrates. Carbs are quickly turned into energy and require less energy to metabolize. So to burn the fat, you need to perform exercise more often and less intensely. Intense exercise can burn calories and build muscle mass that will burn energy more efficiently. But it is the steady fire that will help to improve metabolism. The best strategy is to alternate brief intense exercise with slow and steady moderate exercise.

You will have to exercise longer at lower intensity to burn the same number of calories. Using a heart rate monitor is a great way to track you low intensity work vs your high intensity workouts. Your body needs both regularly.

Low intensity workouts are key to body transformations and reducing your body fat percentage.
