Episode 020: Become a Better Butter (FAT!) Burner
Today, we’re talking about how to become a butter burner.
What does that mean? It means training your body to burn fat instead of sugar.
About 10 years ago, I started digging into this science. It was right around when Orange Theory was coming onto the scene. For those that aren’t familiar, Orange Theory utilizes heart-rate/zone-based training. However, I started to realize that they weren’t giving people an accurate heart rate because they weren’t specifying individual aerobic and anaerobic thresholds.
In this episode, I dive into why understanding your personal threshold is important for exercise and weight loss. I also teach you how to become a better butter burner. Tune in to learn how to maximize your workouts by doing lower intensity workouts and eating the right kind of fuel.
Show Highlights:
- What aerobic threshold means.
- What zone training is.
- The difference between fat and glycogen metabolism.
