The "Afterburner" Effect (Burn 500 More Calories AFTER Your Workout?) | Quick Wits
Have you ever heard the concept that certain types of workouts might keep burning a ton more calories long after you&aposve left the gym for many hours afterward?
Today we&aposre tackling the "afterburner effect," the idea that you can keep burning calories long after your workout is over. And in scientific terms, we are talking about EPOC (excess post-exercise oxygen consumption).
Is this effect real? Can it significantly impact your fat loss and, if so, how can you maximize it in your training?
We separate fact from fiction in today&aposs Quick Wits.
