If you want to burn fat, working out harder isn’t always better.

In this video, we’re breaking down what workout intensity actually means—and how your heart rate determines whether your body burns carbs or fat for energy.

Here’s the key:
👉 Higher intensity = your body uses more carbohydrates
👉 Lower intensity = your body relies more on stored fat

So if your goal is fat loss, constantly pushing yourself to the limit might actually be working against you.

We’ll explain:
What workout intensity really means
How heart rate zones work
Why high intensity workouts use carbs for fuel
How lower intensity movement supports fat burning
How to apply this as a busy mom

If you’ve been stuck in the cycle of “go hard or go home,” this is your permission to take a more sustainable approach.

We help moms build sustainable health and strength that fits real life.
