My Actifit Report Card: December 8 2024
What is the best fat burning workout?
In my opinion, any workout you enjoy doing is the best for burning fat and staying in shape, but if your workout gets too hard, you might start burning as much carbohydrates and sugars as fat
Most of the information I have found says your body uses a higher percentage of fat while working out with less intensity because it is harder for your body to convert fat into energy while working out hard. Which makes sense as I seem to crave sugar and carbohydrates when I work out harder and faster.
Burning too many carbohydrates and sugars just made me want to eat more and more. Which for me was more fast and convenient food as I had a busy lifestyle and was on the go all the time.
High intensity workouts felt like a good bang for your buck and worked really well for me for a long time, but as I got older, I started to get lots more aches and pains. I suppose as I aged I could not go faster anymore so I tried to go longer.
I ended up doing a couple of full distance Iron Mans and an unofficial home made 100km run/ walk during covid. I thought I was training slow and burning fat because my pace was much slower than my 5km parkrun time, but I never lost any weight or did not even tone up. I did not think much about it at the time. I was just happy to be able to complete these big endurance events and then boast about it at work and on social media.
A couple of times, I remember checking my Garmin watch, which had all the information like pace, distance, time, and heart rate. I tried to keep the heart rate in my easy zone, but if the heart spiked, I just thought it was wrong for some technical reason as I felt fine.
Looking back, the heart rate increase on my watch was probably when my workout changed from an easy fat burning workout into a higher percentage of carbohydrate burning workout. No wonder I did not trim down, I just kept loading as many carbs as I could to keep going.

I have also noticed that everyone wants to eat more when they work more. Nothing in excess is good. Moderate exercise over a long period of time can help you stay fit. At the same time, you should eat a balanced diet. 30k steps count today , much more . good job
