How long after exercise am I still burning calories?

1 Answer

when the body continues to burn calories after a exercise it is called ''excessive post exercise oxygen consumption'' and usually last for about up to 3 hours after your workout but recent studies show that this effect has been showed to take place for as long as 38hours after activity in a 48 hour test!
