Many friends who have just started to get involved in fitness exercises think that only by sweating like crazy can they effectively burn fat. There is also a widely circulated saying on the Internet, "Every time you sweat, your fat is crying." Is this really the case?

First of all, we need to understand under what circumstances we sweat, and there are various ways of sweating.
- Warm sweating.
For example, if the weather is particularly hot or you take a sauna, or you are cooking in a kitchen without an exhaust fan in summer. At this time, we sweat because of the high temperature. The purpose of sweating is to better dissipate heat. If someone says that he has lost weight, but the part of the weight you lost is water, not fat, when we replenish water, the weight will come back.

- Mental sweating. For example, we sweat when we are nervous, scared, or emotional.
- Taste-related sweating, such as eating chili, ginger, garlic, etc.
- Exercise-related sweating, such as running, fitness and other sports.

There are many ways to sweat, but if you want to burn fat, you must know that only exercise-induced sweating is related to fat burning. If your exercise achieves the fat loss effect, you will definitely sweat, but conversely, sweating during exercise does not mean that the fat loss effect is achieved.

So how can we judge the effect of fat loss? The two points of "exercise time" and "fat-burning heart rate" are indispensable.

Everyone understands exercise time. Whether it is brisk walking, jogging, skipping or other forms of exercise, generally speaking, the key to fat loss is to exercise continuously for more than 30 minutes. As time goes by, the proportion of fat consumed will gradually increase. But why do some people still have no effect even after doing aerobic exercise for an hour?

Here we need to pay attention to the second point in judging the effect of fat loss, fat burning heart rate.
Everyone's fat consumption heart rate is different. First of all, you must remember this formula: fat burning heart rate = (220-age) ✖60% and (220-age) ✖80%, where the value obtained by subtracting your age from 220 is called the maximum heart rate. The fat-burning heart rate of each of us is between 60% and 80% of the maximum heart rate. Taking a 24-year-old young man as an example, the maximum heart rate obtained by subtracting 24 years from 220 is 196, and his fat-burning heart rate is between 117-156.

So the truly effective way to burn fat is to keep our heart rate within the fat-burning heart rate zone and exercise for more than 30 degrees. In this way, it will be difficult for fat to leave you.
