Heart-Rate Monitoring to Burn Fat

To a large extent, training for endurance is about fat burning. This is accomplished by building a great aerobic base. For those whose goals include reducing body fat to healthy levels, building an even larger aerobic base is the first step.

It’s obvious that those with higher levels of body fat have higher respiratory quotients (RQ). This means they’re burning too much sugar for energy, and too little fat. Studies have also shown that those with higher levels of body fat have higher numbers of anaerobic muscle fibers and lower numbers of aerobic fibers. Your goal in training, therefore, is to not only increase the fat-burning capacity of your aerobic muscles, but to increase the number of aerobic fibers in your muscles. This is accomplished by building as large an aerobic base as possible.

By increasing fat burning, you’ll reduce body fat, have more energy, and create a powerful foundation to further your endurance goals. Take the MAF Test to make sure your body is increasing its fat-burning capability. As your MAF Test improves, your body fat content should reduce.
