Is zone training beneficial for weight loss?
-
National Academy of Sports Medicine answered:Yes, zone training can be beneficial for weight loss through teaching the body to use fat more effectively as fuel during exercise. Also, exercising in and out of different heart rate zones challenges the body in different ways and impacts the amount of energy used both during and after activity. This means you get to burn more calories during and after your cardio session! This increased calorie burn can be desirable for individuals seeking weight loss, because the more calories burned than consumed on a daily basis, the greater the weight loss should be.
