Re: Is calorie afterburn an actual thing? -

What you burn off after ending your exercise is significantly less than what you burn off during exercise. It doesn't actually contribute towards the exercise itself, since the heart rate is still up and can take many minutes to get back to resting state — for example, 65 bpm. I also consider it to be a controversial matter; because we're always burning calories whether we're sleeping, sitting, or driving — so the afterburn effect is basically nullfied in my opinion. Additionally, it could trigger other concerning issues as well if you just focus on calories burnt after you stop exercising — or during exercise.
