Unlock the Hidden Power of Strength Training: The Surprising Benefits That Will Transform Your Body and Life Forever
And then there’s the afterburn effect, officially known as excess post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC). After a strength training session, especially one that includes compound movements or heavier resistance, your body continues to use extra oxygen to recover.
That recovery process burns additional calories for hours (sometimes even up to 24 hours) after your workout ends.² Think of it as a metabolic bonus for putting in the work.
Together, building muscle and triggering EPOC can help support your metabolism and keep your body in calorie-burning mode longer.
