Vickie,
I'm very interested in types of exercise; moderate vs. intense and their effect on fat burning, cardiovascular health, and hormone response.
I'm of the belief that heavy intensity workouts; although anaerobic (without oxygen, hence reduced fat burning) promotes latent fat burning due to a higher post workout metabolic rate than lighter workouts. In addition, I've seen studies suggesting heavier intensity workouts for men promote a higher levels of Testosterone production which stimulates more rapid muscle development and an overall metabolic increase.
Lower intensity workouts help promote better cardiovascular health and burn fat more efficiently during the workout. Can you help me understand how the body reacts to each type of exercise; moderate vs. intense and how these exercise modes should be used to maximize fat burning and overall fitness?
Another loaded question!
Thanks,
Bagger
