How does the fat burning process work?
The body gets energy from fats and carbohydrates.Carbohydrates are broken down faster, so the body uses them first.When carbohydrate reserves are depleted, the breakdown of adipose tissue begins.Consistent physical activity of low to moderate intensity is also necessary to burn fat.

Following these rules will make your training more effective:
- Periodic modification of the training program.The body gets used to stress, so that weight loss does not stop, exercises need to be changed every month.
- The optimal duration of lessons is 1–2 hours.You should not overload the body, as this will lead to muscle exhaustion.
