The AFTER BURN!!! Good news: You don’t need to spend more than an hour working out to torch fat, thanks to your body’s afterburn effect called “excess post-exercise oxygen consumption,” or EPOC. The condition is similar to driving from Los Angeles to San Diego non-stop, and the car’s engine will stay hot for a few hours after it is turned off. EPOC represents the amount of oxygen the body uses after exercise in order to return to its resting state. During EPOC, the body continues to metabolize fat and carbohydrates for energy in order to reduce body temperature, balance blood pH and hormone levels, and heal tissue damage. EPOC can last between 15 minutes to 48 hours.
