Why walking after strength training supercharges fat burn and recovery (and may even help with longevity)

Experts suggest that walking after strength training can significantly boost fat loss. Weight lifting depletes glycogen stores, prompting the body to burn fat during subsequent low-intensity walking. This combination enhances fat oxidation, aids muscle recovery by improving blood flow, and helps manage cortisol levels. The American Heart Association supports this approach for better cardiovascular health and metabolic balance.
