It is well known that cardio exercise will burn fat. The issue is which type of cardio, low versus high intensity, is the most effective.

Studies have shown that intense exercise with burn glycogen and low intensity exercise burns fat. The scientists were right when they said the human body burns more body fat during low intensity exercises like walking or swimming.  During a high intensity exercise such as running, the body will burn a lot more calories.  Even if some of the calories burnt are from glycogen, there are still many fat calories burned as well.

To put the icing on the cake, when your store of glycogen gets low, the carbohydrates from your food you eat will later get converted into glycogen to fill up the store and won’t be

converted to body fat when they are left unused for energy. High intensity cardio exercise will juice up your metabolism even after you have completed your workout.  What this means, is that your body will continue to burn body fat hours after you have left the gym.  This effect is nearly non existent in low intensity cardio or aerobic workout.

Accumulatively, your body will burn up more and more calories during and after you have finished a high intensity cardio exercise that it will with low intensity.

You can inject high intensity exercises into your cardio workout by introducing some interval training. You can walk for 5 minutes or so, then break into some jogging for another 5 minutes or
so.  Then, walk briskly again until you have caught your breath and then sprint for a minute before you walk again.  From this point, simply alternate your running and walking for the
next 15 minutes until you are finished.

One of the best things about cardio is the more you do it, the more energy you’ll have.  Your exercise tolerance with improve. Cardio exercise will help you to burn calories, lose weight and boost your energy level. If your current exercise routine does not include cardio you should consider implementing it into your workouts.

Adding cardio will help boost your energy and keep you in top shape. When you first start out be sure to take it slow and gradually work up to higher intensity cardio exercise to prevent overtraining and injury.
