What is the Afterburn Effect?
The Afterburn Effect is more commonly known by its scientific name, Excess Post-Exercise Oxygen Consumption or EPOC. Unless you're a fitness nerd like me you can just call it "Afterburn" though
Here's how the Afterburn works:
After your exercise, your body needs to RECOVER. You need to repair your muscle tissues, a replenish certain energy molecules inside your muscles so that they can do more work. And this recover consumes calories - which means that it can help you to burn your belly fat and get abs if you maximize it.
All forms of exercise trigger the Afterburn Effect to some degree. However, research shows that low intensity forms of exercise (jogging on the treadmill, doing crunches, etc.) trigger a very small Afterburn Effect, while high intensity forms of exercise (heavy compound weightlifting and high intensity cardio) trigger a MUCH bigger Afterburn Effect. By doing the right type of training, you can dramatically increase the amount of calories you are burning through Afterburn which will allow you to burn your belly fat and get abs faster.
Here's what others are saying about the Afterburn Effect...
From Wikipedia:
"In a 1992 Purdue study, results showed that high intensity, anaerobic type exercise resulted in a significantly greater magnitude of EPOC than aerobic exercise of equal work output....the overall weight-control benefits of EPOC, for men and women, from participation in resistance exercise occur over a significant time period."
From Ask Men:
"While on the quest for fat loss, many people place far too much focus on how many calories they are burning during their exercise sessions, while forgetting to account for the calories that will be burned because of that exercise session -- after all is said and done. If you train in the proper way, you can actually greatly enhance the total amount of fat burned with your exercise program by taking advantage of these additional calories lost after the training program is completed.
...make sure you don't forget the important factor of EPOC during your next workout. If you plan your program right, it can mean the difference between coming in large and ripped by the end of your goal month, and being muscular, but not all that defined."
From The University Of New Mexico:
"Although there appears to be variation in individual responses, the positive news is that [calories burned through EPOC] can add up over time and may contribute to long-term weight management. Some evidence-based exercise options to maximize the exercise after-burn are presented in Sidebar 1. When working with clients who want to maximize energy expenditure through EPOC, focus on developing their training status so they can perform higher intensity exercise."

It's overstated. Exercise is awesome because it helps your hormones regulate themselves, which improves mood, hungers cues, etc. But, for weight loss, eating moderately is the way to go.0
