So commonly I get a question, what type of exercise will burn more fat?

Arobic or anaerobic? Okay, so let's just kind of cover that.

Low intensity is called aerobic. That means with air.

High intensity is called anaerobic without air.

Now, this definition of aerobic is differently than if you're going to go do a type of exercise called aerobics.

So there's two different definitions.

Some people have confusion with that.

But the low intensity type exercise would be walking, light swimming, riding your bike,

to the point where you're not huffing and puffing.

You can talk to someone.

You're not out of breath.

The advantage of doing this is you get a lot of oxygen,

you get lower stress, you get improvement in brain function.

It actually will help regenerate brain cells,

which is really good.

But when you do low intensity of exercise,

the first roughly 29 minutes, let's just say a half hour, you're burning up all your stored sugar. Okay. Then after that, then your body is tapping into fat. Now, it's not a tremendous amount of fat because it's low intensity, but it's burning some fat. And that would be the time after about a half hour.

Okay. So if you were to work out 45 minutes, you have about 15 minutes of actual fat burning.

Okay. But there's other other benefits of low intensity. Now, let's talk about high intensity.

Well, when you're doing high intensity, you're burning up your sugar, for sure.

You're not going probably as long.

The time period that you'd want to exercise would be between 20 and 40 minutes.
