Overview About the Author

The Physiology of Fat Loss: New Exciting Findings

Join Len in one of the most comprehensive lectures ever to explain the detailed physiological and metabolic aspects of fat metabolism, caloric expenditure and fat loss. Participants will learn, from a cellular perspective, the newest research on the hormonal regulation of lipolysis during exercise, the effect of exercise on lipolysis, the effect of exercise on fat oxidation, effective exercise intensities for fat loss, and strategies to enhance caloric expenditure with exercise. You’ll also receive 10 groundbreaking exercise programs that maximize caloric expenditure and fat metabolism.
