Exercise and fat
Information
Question:
Which will burn more fat, walking or jogging?
Answer:
Walking a mile burns about the same number of calories as a mile of jogging. The important thing is to try to exercise at a level of moderate-intensity. This is equal to exercising at 60-85% of your maximum heart rate. To determine your maximum heart rate, subtract your age from 220. Multiply that number by 0.6 or .85 in order to obtain the rate at 60-85%.
Question:
How long do I need work out before my body starts burning fat?
Answer:
An aerobic workout (like walking) for 30 to 45 minutes three times a week is enough to burn fat.
