To use exercise to trigger fat-burning hormones, it is important to discuss the variables of exercise:
1) Intensity (the power behind the exercise) and difficulty
2) Frequency
3) Duration (total time of exercise)
4) Type
5) Rest (The goal is to use exercise strategically to maximize and keep your body in fat burning and minimize fat-making stress hormones.)
Today we will discuss 3 -5:  Duration, Type, and Rest.
Duration
The actual duration of exercise is also key. If you are being intense and doing it for a long time, you will automatically nullify fat-burning hormones …

To use exercise to trigger fat-burning hormones, it is important to discuss the variables of exercise:
1) Intensity (the power behind the exercise) and difficulty
2) Frequency
3) Duration (total time of exercise)
4) Type
5) Rest (The goal is to use exercise strategically to maximize and keep your body in fat burning and minimize fat-making stress hormones.)
Today we will discuss the first two: Intensity and Frequency.
Intensity and Difficulty
Intensity is a primary factor; it is the most powerful stimulus for the fat-burning hormones. Growth hormone is the best example of this. If …

Higher intensity—shorter duration
Anaerobic means without oxygen. The anaerobic energy system produces energy without utilizing oxygen; its ONLY source of fuel during the time of exercise is sugar in the blood or stored sugar in the muscles and liver.
This system does NOT initially burn fat fuel during the time you are working out. However, it does stimulate fat-burning hormones 14 to 48 hours later.3 (The aerobic system burns fat during exercise.) The anaerobic system is used for quick high-intensity exercise and kicks in immediately during exercise when the supply of …

Low intensity – longer duration
Aerobic means with oxygen. For our purposes here, the aerobic energy system can be defined as burning fuel with oxygen. Your body burns stored fats and stored sugar in the presence of oxygen. An automobile uses a mixture of gasoline and oxygen as its fuel. Similarly, when the body is in the aerobic mode, it uses oxygen in the mixture as well. The aerobic system runs at a turtle’s pace – slow to moderate. The heart rate, on average, is between 127 and 130 beats per …

The body, like a machine, needs energy to operate. This requires some type of fuel, in this case food in the form of protein, carbohydrates and fat, which is burned off into energy. You also have stored fuel—sugar and fat.
There are two energy-producing systems in the body that allow us to be in motion. One is for brief high-intensity activity, called the Anaerobic Energy System, and the other is for low-intensity endurance-type (or long and slow) activity, called the Aerobic Energy System.
Under certain circumstances, such as in emergencies or times …

Rest between exercises
Rest is crucial between periods of exercise because this is when the body needs energy from the fat to repair itself. You should never exercise over a healing sore muscle. Sore means healing. In most cases, the longer the soreness lasts, the worse off the adrenals. If before the workout you take a teaspoon of flax oil or 3 flaxseed-oil perles (omega 3), this will increase oxygen and speed up the elimination of soreness.
Sleep quality and amount
Insufficient sleep will add stress and keep you from burning fat. …

Think about this—if you exercise moderately for 1 hour, you might burn 350 calories. That’s equivalent to several teaspoons of salad dressing. No big deal!
The real benefits of exercise occur one to two days later, but only if the environment is almost perfect. In other words, if you do things correctly and don’t violate the fat-burning environment, you will burn fat. Fat-storing hormones can easily nullify the fat-burning hormones. The worse off your hormone health, the more perfect the other factors need to be.
What you eat before, during and after
