Will Lactic Acid Training Burn Fat?

Lactic acid training is one of the methods that fitness trainers often rave about. They put their clients through training that is tiring and can be painful. All in the name of efficient fat loss. The question is... Is this even effective? To answer this question, we'll need to understand what lactic acid is and how it affects our body. To state it quite simply, lactic acid is a by-product of hard exercise. It is a result of oxygen deficiency in the muscles. The body converts glucose in the body to glycogen for energy. When you put yourself through a session of high intensity training, the body converts the glycogen to ATP which will be energy for the muscles. Once these energy stores are depleted, lactic acid will enter the muscles. This is what causes the "burning sensation" when you're engaged in hard exercise.
