X-Train has been proven to burn more calories then any other form of training performed for a longer duration at a lower intensity. High intensity workouts increase metabolism during and for hours even after training is complete. In fact, high intensity burns 9 times more fat per each calorie burn during exercise.
Unlike the aerobic way people train where they only burn calories for the duration of their aerobic activity or training.
Low Intensity Workout vs High Intensity Workout
Low intensity workout:
50% MHR = 7 calories per minute
90% of those calories are burning fat tissue
High Intensity Workout:
75% MHR = 14 calories per minute
60% of those calories are burning fat tissue
From the above figures, it appears that you burn more fat tissue when working at a lower intensity (90% vs. 60% from fat tissue), but these numbers are misleading.
Let’s look at them another way:
Low Intensity Workout:90% x 7 calories per minute = 6.30 fat calories burned per minute
High Intensity Workout: 60% x 14 calories per minute = 8.40 fat calories burned per minute
After you do the math, you can see that you burn a greater amount of fat tissue calories from a high intensity workout than a low intensity workout (8.4 vs. 6.3 calories burned per minute).
Now, We are not saying that low intensity workouts are bad. Low intensity exercises are beneficial for warming up and cooling down. Low intensity exercises are also good for the elderly, anyone recovering from an illness or injury, someone who is significantly overweight and out of shape.
