And I think the other thing that people often think about is always like this black and white thinking, right?

There's this bin and that bin, to use Dr. Lane Norton's analogy, where people think if you're doing high-intensity interval training, you're just burning glucose.

and producing lactate.

And that's just not the case.

In fact, the majority of the time, even when you're doing a high-intensity interval training workout, you're doing both, right?

You're not just burning.

I mean, unless someone's doing like an all-out Wingate, which I don't know many people that have done that.

I certainly haven't ever done one.

But you're not really going to be just only burning glucose, right?

There's a gray area.

So you're also still using your mitochondria to some degree as well.

Why do people, why is there a, you can see it circulating around on social media and the blogosphere, podcasts.

If you're doing zone two training, you're going to be a better fat burner.

Like I'm doing, you ask someone why I'm doing zone two training because I want to be a better quote unquote fat burner.

What does that even mean?

Is that even true?

Yeah.

And I've also seen studies where it seems as though doing more high intensity interval training, more vigorous exercise, people end up burning more fat after the exercise, you know, if they're doing that type of exercise versus low to moderate intensity training.

Metabolic flexibility.

I mean, there's definitely longevity benefits for that.
