And then you get to the point where you're just like running so hard up a hill, almost ready to fall off the back of the treadmill, and you're burning like almost 100% carbs.
So people hear that and they hear that like this lower intensity or cardio burns a higher percentage of fat.
All right, great.
Well, that's why I'm going to like burn all the fat off of my body.
The problem is that you aren't burning that many calories at that low intensity.
So if I'm burning...
say 70 fat but i'm burning 200 calories per hour walking right zone two and then i'm burning maybe 30 fat but i'm also burning 800 calories per hour during say like one of those concurrent training sessions that i described
At the end of the day, I'm burning way more calories from fat by using intensity, high intensity interval training and weight training than I am from doing zone two cardio.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'm like.
Yeah, 12% incline, three miles per hour, 30 minutes.
Yeah.
Yeah, 12, 12, 330, something like that.
Now, granted, the best workout is the workout you're actually going to do.
And then for a lot of people, if I can turn my brain off and go walk for 30 minutes, that person's going to burn more calories than the person who stops at the door of the gym because whatever they're supposed to be doing is way harder than that.
Compared to doing nothing at all, you are.
Not as much as if you were doing a widely varied program with both strength training and HIIT.
Yeah.
Well, I mean, like, if you look at the legs of a Tour de France cyclist, you wouldn't say, well, they're not doing anything.
