Turn your body into a fat-burning machine. Regular exercise makes your body better at burning flab—even on the days you don’t work out, according to new research published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
In the study, the scientists took a group of non-exercisers and put them on a 3-day-a-week exercise program. After just 2 months, the former couch potatoes’ ability to transport fatty acids from their blood stream into their muscles improved significantly. This led to an increase in the rate at which they burned fat throughout the entire day.
But the scientists discovered a flipside, too: Taking a short hiatus from the gym could reverse this benefit quickly. When the researchers asked frequent exercisers skip their workouts, the participants’ experienced a substantial decrease in their fat-burning ability in just 4 weeks.
