Zumba Cardio Fitness Part 2

Zumba Cardio Exercises - Low Or High Intensity Exercise Burns Body Fat Faster? Part 2
Well, the scientists were right when they said that our bodies burn more body fat during low intensity exercises like walking or a leisurely swim. But during a high intensity exercise like Zumba fitness fun, our bodies burn a lot more calories. Even if some of the calories burnt are from glycogen, we will still burn many fat calories as well.
To add icing to the cake, when your store of glycogen is low, the carbs from your meal you eat later gets converted into glycogen to fill up the store and will not be converted to body fat when left unused for energy.
Furthermore, high intensity cardio exercises crank up your metabolism even after your workout is done. This means that your body will continue to burn body fat hours after you have left the gym. This effect is almost non existent in low intensity cardio or aerobic workouts. Accumulatively, your body burns up many, many more calories during and after high intensity cardio exercises than lower intensity ones.
You can inject high intensity exercises into your cardio workout by introducing some interval training. You can walk briskly for 5 minutes, then breaking into a jog for another 5 minutes. Then walking briskly again until your breath has stabilised and then sprint for a minute before walking again for another minute. From this point, alternate between a sprint and a walk, a minute each and do this for the next 15 minutes and you are done.
Do this for 5 days a week and before long, you will be steadily losing unwanted body fat and weight healthily and naturally.
One thing we don't want to happen is for us to loose interest in our exercise routine, because we all know if that happens we just throw in the towel and don't exercise at all. So... don't forget you can always do something fun to get fit like attending Zumba Fitness fun classes at least twice a week. Gauranteed to leave with a feeling of invigoration, motivation and best of all a big smile.
See you there
