However, hypertrophy (muscle building) also matters greatly. When it comes to resistance training, intensity is once again a key factor. But so, too, does not resting at all, which explains why high-intensity interval training - where rest periods or active-recovery intervals are prescribed - is now known to be considerably more effective at burning body fat than steady-state cardio (where, by definition, you don’t rest). We can all agree that resting five minutes between sets is not the best way to torch body fat such long rest periods virtually eliminate intensity. If Seabourne doesn’t know fat burning, nobody does. To address the topic of rest and fat burning, we’ve selected someone who possesses all of these requirements: Tom Seabourne, Ph.D., CSCS, professor of exercise science at Northeast Texas Community College (Mount Pleasant), author of 16 published fitness-related books and a world-record-holding ultra-distance cyclist who has cycled more than 1 million miles all while maintaining a muscular physique.
REST TIME BETWEEN SETS FOR FAT LOSS TRIAL
Maximizing fat loss requires some critical thinking, an understanding of the body’s physiology, common sense and, perhaps most important, years of trial and error. Burning fat can’t be summed up in a single sentence because, you guessed it, it’s not always black and white. These statements are true … except when they’re not. Talk to 100 run-of-the-mill personal trainers about the topic and 90-something of them will say essentially this: To lose fat, rest periods need to be short, if not nonexistent, and rest days should be few and far between. A prime example is rest, particularly when it concerns fat burning. Few things in the realm of training are black and white, even those things that are regularly talked about in very black-and-white terms.
