class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>\u27a4 Fat oxidation increases dramatically<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>During Tabata, your body relies on stored glycogen.<br>After the session, the body burns <strong>stored fat<\/strong> to restore energy balance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>\u27a4 Increased mitochondrial density<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This means your cells burn
