Burn More Fat!

Warmed muscles burn fat more readily than cold muscles. The implications of this go deeper than you might think. Fat is released during stress. The stress of sudden, intense exercise, releases a deluge of fat molecules into the blood stream that are used as fuel.

If you start your exercise at full speed, your cold muscles can’t use these fat cells, and they end up in places where they aren’t wanted, such as the lining of your arteries.
