Walking after lifting burns more fat? 🔥

In this short, conversational fitness video, Eric Roberts addresses the question of whether walking after a weight‑lifting session leads to greater fat loss. He explains that during resistance training the muscles primarily consume carbohydrate stores for energy, leaving little glycogen afterward. Consequently, a post‑lift walk will draw on fat as its immediate fuel source, so the body does indeed burn fat during that walk. However, Roberts emphasizes that burning fat for energy in a single session does not automatically translate to losing stored body fat. The only reliable way to reduce body fat is to maintain a daily calorie deficit—eating fewer calories than the body expends. Walking after lifting can add extra calories burned, helping to achieve that deficit, but nutrition must be addressed first. He concludes with a call‑to‑action, directing viewers to a link in his bio for personalized calorie‑intake guidance.
