Our body acquires energy in many ways subjected to how intense the activity is. By triggering the body to burn body fats or calories, the body incurs energy to spend. Did you ever think that you are already burning fats while you are just sitting getting cozy watching a television show? Our body works all the time to supply the energy needed when we do something. Yet, if you want to slough off some weight, you actually need to burn calories.

As for the many, they are not aware and they don’t really know how the body works to gain energy from fats and calories. As an example, the body is already working to burn reserve fats and calories equally while you are sitting and reading this article. Let us say that you will do a few push ups now, the body will require the need of spare energy promptly and will use calories approximately up to 70% to meet the demand for energy. If you continue to do push-ups, the body will begin to keep the carbs and turn to burn body fats thus this will be the source of up to 60% of energy.
Athletes usually undergo heavy training and exercise and they usually spend a lot of energy which 70% of it comes from burning fats and 30% comes from burning calories. Athletes are lean and they stay fit because they always train and work out thus keeping the body to steadily burn fats and when they do so much of exercise, the body would need adequate amount of calories to burn to supply their energy. Therefore, if you want to slough off some weight, you have to eat less and burn more calories.
Another confusion of people is that they often think that light exercises like walking are effective when matched with heavy exercise. It would depend on what you are aiming for. If your aim is to lose weight, then you have to focus on burning calories.
Exercises that need less energy or light exercises initiate the body to use fat of high fraction. When compared to heavy training or exercise, the amount of calories that is burned from light exercises is not much as of it. The bottomline is that the body will certainly not use the same amount of calories.
Consequently, if you don’t have much time to have your exercise, then you should most likely turn to heavier exercises. But if you have the extra time to have your exercise, you should probably turn to light exercises and still attain the same desired outcome.
