Throughout my prep for Ifbb every morning I would walk for 30 - 40 minutes on an empty stomach and found it had some huge benefits
1. I was losing fat at a quicker rate then doing cardio on a full stomach. I was also losing fat from stubborn areas
2. It kick started my metabolism so I was getting hungry quicker
3. It woke me up and gave me an awesome start to the day full or energy
Some studies have found that exercising in a fasted state can burn almost 20 percent more fat compared to exercising with fuel in the tank. Why? Once we eat, insulin (which regulates the breakdown of fat) increases in our body. Higher your insulin the harder it is to burn fat.
