Is it true that short, high-intensity workouts are better than long, low-intensity ones in losing body fats?
A. Yes! Higher intensity workouts can better increase your metabolism and make your body burn more calories after the workout. Some studies published in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association have shown that it takes much shorter time to lose the same amount of fat when working out at a higher intensity. With this, researchers suggested that fat loss all depends on the amount of energy expended. Thus, if your main goal of working out is to lose fat, you should work out safely at the highest tolerable intensity to consume more energy. Take note of the word tolerable; you should not work too hard because it might just do more harm than good.
