This info that I'm going to share with you is based on scientific research and is instructed in every exercise physiology college course. If you're working out at a low intensity, say 50-60% of your maximum pulse, we're probably safe to say that more than one-half of the calories you're burning off come from fat (let’s suppose 60%), and the remainder (approximately 40%) come from sugar, or carbs, in your bloodstream and in your muscles. Bottom line, you burn a greater share of fat at this intensity level than carbs.) In case you aren’t acquainted with intensity based on pulse, 50-60% of your maximum pulse is an easy pace, something you likely could sustain for a long time, perhaps hours. When you're exercising at greater intensities (suppose 70%-80%), we're safe to state that most individuals are burning off a higher percentage of carbs than fat. Now, simply from this info alone, it may be easy for individuals to believe they're burning more fat at the lower intensities, correct? The percentages are sure enough greater at the lower intensities. So you may see why so many individuals thought this was the better way to burn fat. Well, let’s have a closer look at what is truly occurring.
