I don't wish to get too technical about EPOC and weight loss, because then you are very likely to zone out. After exercise, the body takes in oxygen at a raised rate, which also indicates it is expending more energy and calories at an elevated rate. Generally, the body is using more oxygen than typical to restore itself to its pre-exercise state. If you reverse engineer the signs of EPOC, you can create a workout that has a good afterburn effect.
