    Great advice! Thanks!! I had no idea! excelent

  4. TheRealWm Says:

    I have a similar question that I’ve been trying to find the answer to. Does your heart rate percent relate to catabolism? For instance if your heart rate is above a certain percent will you be more likely to break down muscle as opposed to fat/sugar?

  5. BodyPerformanceTV Says:

    This is INCORRECT. There are fat burning heart rates and they vary by individual based on health & fitness levels. And people who are very out of shape should NOT do High Intensity Training.

  6. qberazer Says:

    When you people will ever learn that there is no specific heart rate for fat loss, its an old myth…

    The only thing that counts is a negative calories balance, and this goal can be achieved with any sort of cardio training. High Intensity Endurance Training will burn more fat than any low level cardio training. If Glucose is burned predominantly with an intensive training unit, then more fat will burned afterwards.

  7. qberazer Says:

    But that doesnt mean that an untrained person shouldnt do an High Intensity training cause of his bad condition. Even if the person is running in an interval program for lets say 5 minutes with stops in each running, it will burn more fat than in any 30 minutes “breathable” low level cardio training, not to mention the afterburn effect.

  8. Nolij121 Says:

    Actually, he said, “break down fat, and covert that fat into sugar.”

    Inacurate.

    He was refering to fat, not Gluuconeogenesis.

    He just lost his credibility.

  14. ricardospoon Says:

    ye sorry, i thought you were referring to the fatty acids as well as the glycerol

  15. BodyPerformanceTV Says:

    You’re welcome!

  16. BodyPerformanceTV Says:

    Gluconeogenesis describes the process and regulation of converting various carbon sources (lactate, glycerol, and glucogenic amino acids) into GLUCOSE for energy use.

    thanks man

  18. ricardospoon Says:

    sugar is used in glycolysis and eventually goes through the citric acid cycle and then oxidative phosphorilation, which produces ATP which is used as energy. What you’re saying is sort of right except fatty acids undergo ‘beta oxidation’ and are turned into acetyl-coa which goes straight into the citric acid cycle. not sure if you’re simplifying it or not but for those that dont know. Just saying, fats never become sugars.

    “Sugar”? I’M RIGHT HERE MAN! lol

    I use minoxidil spray and I feel like my heart is always pushing harder. (But not beating faster?)
