How high-intensity training helps you burn calories even when you're at rest
Excess post-exercise oxygen consumption, more commonly referred to as EPOC, is the process by which your body increases the amount of oxygen it consumes to repay the oxygen deficit accumulated during a period of intense exercise. This is vital for increased fat loss because it has the effect of increasing your resting metabolic rate (RMR), which is the speed at which your body burns calories while at rest. The higher your RMR, the more calories you burn over the course of a day.
BIG PUSH
The harder you push yourself during training, the greater the oxygen debt you accumulate and the longer it will take your body to return to its pre-training levels.
During this period you burn a greater number of calories than normal and are more likely - if you stick to the nutrition plan - to start using your stores of body fat as fuel.
