Do Cardiovascular Exercises Burn Fat OR Calories?

Calories & Fat Are Required To Fuel The Body


Many of us engage in cardiovascular exercises, AKA cardio/aerobic exercises. We are taught that these exercises are to burn both calories and fat. While engaging in cardio exercises, our bodies store energy in the form of carbohydrates and fat to fuel our movements.

The fuel from cardiovascular exercise will burn calories. These units of fuel/energy are required to power our movements. The calories burned during a cardio workout will depend on several factors. Including your weight, the time, and the intensity of the exercises. Consistent cardio exercise can also burn a great deal of fat. Over time, your body may start to break down stored fat to use as fuel. This can result in a reduction in body fat percentage which can lead to a leaner physique. Burning fat should be the goal. Carbohydrates, protein, and fat are necessary for simple everyday tasks as well as for building muscles.


It's important to consume enough calories to maintain a healthy weight while burning fat through cardio exercise. Talking to your doctor in order to create a caloric deficit diet by burning more calories than you consume. It is possible to achieve this goal through a combination of cardio exercise and a healthy, balanced diet. https://www.livestrong.com/article/537814-the-difference-between-carbs-calories/
