Seems like the entire fitness influencer community is all hyped up for incline walking these days, but they’re missing one crucial piece of the puzzle. And if you actually want to get lean without wasting time on trendy half-truths, here\u2019s what you need to know.<\/p>\n
Yes, when you exercise at a higher intensity your body will utilize more carbs since they’re a faster acting energy source.<\/p>\n
It’s also true that when you exercise at a lower intensity, fat becomes the primary fuel because your body has more time to mobilize it.<\/p>\n
But what most people – including a lot of fitness coaches – don’t understand is that overall fat loss isn\u2019t about which specific fuel you use during a workout — it\u2019s about total calories burned for the day as a whole.<\/p>\n
See, your body isn\u2019t stupid. It’s a very tightly regulated system that constantly adjusts fuel sources throughout the day to keep things in balance.<\/p>\n
Meaning that if you burn more fat during training, you’ll just burn more carbs later on. And if you burn more carbs during training, you can probably guess what happens, you’ll burn more fat afterwards.<\/p>\n
Don’t get me wrong, incline walking is great and I do plenty of it myself.<\/p>\n
However, it’s not some kind of special fat loss hack like everyone’s making it out to be, other forms of cardio are perfectly fine depending on what you prefer, and if you do want to mix in some higher intensity varieties, all those calories still count toward your fat loss goal.<\/p>\n
The only “zone” you actually need to be in if you want to get leaner is a calorie deficit.<\/p>\n
