Want To Build Muscle While Burning Fat ? - You've been told a hundred times: it's impossible to
build Muscle up and melt fat at the same time. You've been told that
building muscle involves an increase in calories, while fat burning involves a decrease in calories. This conventional wisdom is based in fact, but the beliefs are being tossed on
their ears with research into interval training. The truth is, you can achieve
muscle weight gain at the same time as you burn fat if you add interval training to your sessions.
Interval training isn't new, but it's been more widely understood, accepted, and implemented in recent years. While standard cardiovascular training was looked at as the only efficient way to shed fat, and the only effective workouts for endurance athletes, high intensity interval training
(HIIT) has been shown to be advantageous to athletes in all sports, and for people with wildly varying goals.
Standard aerobic activity is referred to as "steady state," which essentially means that you work up to a fixed intensity level and continue working out at that level throughout the workout. During the workout, your body gets half of its fuel by burning fat, and gets the rest through
oxygen intake, and by tapping into your glycogen and
muscle stores.
