Exercise is very healthy and helps with weight loss, that's how far we are. But there are also many misconceptions about exercise. The well-known Flemish physiotherapist Lieven Maesschalck, who also coaches various top athletes, explains how it really works.


Burn fat

For example, he says about the difference between morning or evening exercise: “If you exercise to burn fat, it is best to exercise in the morning before breakfast. A slow jog with a low heart rate is ideal for burning fat. Drink a good cup of coffee before you walk. The caffeine will give your fat burning an extra boost! ” On the other hand, exercising at night makes you stronger. “Because your body temperature peaks later in the day, you are in principle stronger than in the morning. Moreover, your pain threshold is higher in the afternoon / evening, which means you will push your limits faster. ”


So keep going

He also clears up the misunderstanding that running is better than walking (too bad, I love running). When asked what is the healthiest, running or walking, he answers: “No doubt walking. If you keep going, all the muscles in your body are activated, without putting a heavy load on the body. While walking, your heart rate will not rise as high as when running. To burn fat, you are not allowed to train with high heart rates, so brisk walking is a very good option. ”
