The Afterburn Effect

A lot of personal trainers talk about the Best Exercises to Lose Weight.

But what happens after your workout?

Your body is a powerful machine. The Afterburn Effect (or EPOC) is the body's way of repairing from your workout WHILE STILL burning calories leading to additional weight loss! From what nutrition and meals are best to pair with your weight loss goals and activity to the most impactful hours in your day for maximum calorie burn... your answers are below. Absolutely free.

Rather than bore you with the science, let’s dig into excess post exercise oxygen consumption and how it can benefit you when you incorporate it into your workout routine.

Have you ever wondered if it’s true that you can continue to burn calories without hours on the treadmill or stairmaster? You absolutely can. What is EPOC?

Excess Post-Exercise Oxygen Consumption refers to the increased oxygen consumption (by your muscles) that occurs after intense physical activity. When you engage in activities that require significant energy expenditure, such as high-intensity interval training or weightlifting, your body undergoes several physiological changes. EPOC is the body’s way of recovering and returning to its pre-exercise state.

  • Understanding the Science: During intense exercise, your body relies on stored energy sources, primarily carbohydrates, to fuel your muscles. However, these energy sources become depleted during prolonged or high-intensity workouts. EPOC occurs as your body works to replenish these energy stores and restore various physiological processes to their resting levels.
  • While the exact mechanisms behind EPOC are complex and multifaceted, there are a few key factors that contribute to its occurrence:
  • Replenishing Oxygen: Your body needs to replace the oxygen debt created during intense exercise. EPOC helps restore oxygen levels to normal by increasing your breathing rate and heart rate, enabling the delivery of oxygen to tissues and aiding in the breakdown of lactic acid.
  • Restoring Energy Stores: EPOC plays a crucial role in replenishing depleted energy stores, such as glycogen, in your muscles and liver. This process requires energy, and the increased metabolic rate during EPOC helps facilitate the replenishment of these energy stores.
  • Thermogenic Effect: EPOC also leads to an elevation in body temperature, which results in increased calorie expenditure. This thermogenic effect occurs as your body works to cool down and return to its normal resting state.
  • As promised, we're going to keep these workouts short and sweet but filled with great exercises to take with you anywhere or at home with zero equipment!
