It’s reasonable to say that any exercise is better than no exercise. So, in case, you lead an inactive way of life, then even walking around your block for 15 minutes per day is going to do something favorable for your body and its metabolism.
True, that distinction may be invisible to the naked eye (or it may not?), the bottom line is that exercise is excellent.
Yet with this being stated, some individuals think that they ought to carry out low-intensity workouts even when they could be carrying out more high-intensity workouts.
That is, instead of running for 20 minutes with their heart on the top end of their aerobic zone, they go with low-intensity jogs that hardly break a sweat.
Low-intensity workouts merely do not result in a quicker metabolic process; they can’t. Keep in mind, as we went over really early in this book, the metabolic process is a process.
And that process is actually one of two types: taking energy and making cells (anabolism), or breaking cells down to create energy (catabolism).
If you do not attain a high-intensity workout, your body can not tap to attain catabolism; it will not need to. And the only way your body is going to break down existing cells is in case it has to.
So keep this at the back of your mind as you work out, either at home or at a gym. Low-intensity workouts are better than nothing at all; and they might be needed if you’re recuperating from an injury or simply getting started with the exercise journey.
Once you reach a level of standard fitness, just high intensity (aerobic) workouts are going to make a difference in regards to your metabolism. High-intensity exercises push your body to discover the energy to help you sustain that level of exercise, and it accomplishes so through catabolism.
