Fat burning has become a popular catch phrase for marketing classes at the gym and exercise videos. Most people who are seduced by the idea of burning fat want to lose weight or tone their bodies. When it comes to weight loss, it really doesn’t matter if your body is burning fat or carbs: what matters is that you are burning more calories than you consume.

Yoga combined with walking, running, or biking is a great choice.
