💥TODAYS CHEATCODE: Fasted Cardio
.
🏃🏽♀️In the fasted state you stop processing and breaking down food, your insulin levels are low and there’s no fuel (glycogen) circulating in your blood. As a result, your source of energy is fat to power you through the workout.
.
💪🏻Bodybuilders have been using fasted cardio as a fat-loss technique for years. Technically, any time you head straight to an early-morning workout without eating first, you’re doing a fasted workout.
.
🌞If your primary goal is to lower your body fat percentage and your go-to workout is low- to moderate- intensity cardio, fasted cardio offers some perks.
.
👩🏽⚕️Research supports that you’ll burn more fat when you run in the fasted state than when your body does not have circulating nutrients to use for energy. Studies find that you burn 20% more fat running compared to those who had eaten breakfast.
.
💪🏻Fasted cardio may be effective in getting the body to help burn stubborn fat for someone that has been working out regularly for a while.
.
🏃🏽♀️While running on empty may make you feel sluggish at first, over time, your body will adapt to burning fat. Research shows those who consistently trained in a fasted state showed more improvement in their endurance exercise performance compared to those who ate before training.
.
👩🏽⚕️Stay between 50-60% of your target heart rate,which you can do during a walk, slow run, elliptical jaunt, or yoga class. The easier the workout, the more likely your body will use fat.
.
💥If you’re a morning exerciser, intermittent faster or don’t like eating before your sweat session—try fasted cardio! (And make sure to eat after your workout)
