So commonly, I get a question, what type of exercise will burn more fat, aerobic 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 a 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. Okay, the advantage of

doing this is you get a lot of oxygen, you get lower stress, you get improvement in brain function,

and actually will help regenerate brain cells, which is really good. But when you do low intensity

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 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 as probably as long. The time period that you would want to exercise would be between 20

and 40 minutes. Okay, don't go over 40 minutes. It's better to actually increase your intensity,

make it more difficult, but work out shorter than to go longer. Now, what happens is that the fat

burning is delayed 14 to 48 hours later when you're sleeping. Okay, so you don't see a lot of benefit

during this workout because it's just a stress. It's in the body's adaptation that you then see

the benefit of fat burning and more strength, more cardiovascular endurance because you're actually

increasing growth hormone. The key is not overtraining. Don't do it too frequently. I've had people
