Exercise Resistance and Fat Loss
Being inactive can lead to exercise resistance, making fat loss challenging. Studies show that individuals who are sedentary struggle to burn fat during exercise, which is known as exercise resistance. Walking at least 8,000 steps per day is crucial to combat this issue, as it enhances the body's ability to oxidize fats for fuel. Increasing baseline physical activity levels through small activities spread throughout the day can significantly improve fat metabolism.
