Glycogen Stores

Did you know sugar gets stored in the body as “glycogen” in the liver & muscles?

The liver glycogen can be released & used for energy but the muscle glycogen is “trapped” in the muscle & must be burned inside of the muscle tissue as energy.

One factor dictating the state of ketosis you enter is liver glycogen being removed.

Following a ketogenic diet on top of resistance training & HIIT will support your efforts into getting into a state of ketosis by burning up the stored liver glycogen as well as ensuring that you don’t overfill em back up from excessive amounts of carbohydrates & sugars as most of us do after workouts.

Here is a great full-body circuit that can be done in less than 15 minutes.
