Shivering is one of the strongest stimuli for fat loss, as it can increase metabolism and fat oxidation when done correctly, especially in cold environments.

The principles of fat loss are linked to how we engage the nervous system and the patterns of exercise we choose, as high-intensity exercise triggers significant adrenaline release, which is crucial for fat thermogenesis and oxidation, while low to moderate-intensity exercise does not stimulate adrenaline as effectively.

High-intensity movements followed by lower-intensity exercise can be effective for fat loss, especially when performed in a fasted state.
