[ELI5] How Does The Body Still Burn Calories Up to 24 Hours After a HIIT Workout
In: 5
Increasingly I read information that the body doesn’t actually burn more calories from exercise at all. Even if exercise does burn a few more calories in the moment this is averaged out over time and compensated for.
Apparently the science says we all burn the same amount of calories on average whether we exercise a lot or not.

Exercise is still very good for you, just wanted to add that, but apparently won’t help you lose weight.
