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 were 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 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 it actually will help regenerate brain cells which is really good but when you do low intensity of exercise that first roughly 29 minutes or 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’d want 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 then 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 bodies adapt ation that you then see the benefit of fat burning in more strength more cardiovascular endurance because you’re actually increasing growth the key is not over training don’t do too frequently I’ve had people go from exercising five years a week to one day a week and get massive benefits just because it gave your body a chance to heal and recover it’s something that’s not emphasized enough also you have to make sure that you keep your carbs low if you’re working out and you’re putting all this effort out and you’re doing like energy drinks with sugar or protein bars with sugar or whatever you’re pretty much nullifying the results that you could have had okay so that’s mainly the difference between these two I recommend doing both so do this a couple times a week and do this on the off days I think that would be the perfect combination all right thanks for watching hey you probably already subscribed but if you haven’t press this little button down below and I will keep you updated
