do you still burn fat after a work out?

Answer 1

Absolutely.

Answer 2

Yes, mostly after working your muscles. After a weight training session, your body will continue to burn calories significantly faster for about 48 hours. The more muscle you have, the faster you burn calories. After cardio, your body still burns a high amount of calories and fat for up to an our afterwards. It's important to fuel your body with food immediately after working out so as not to deprive your body when it's in this state of excessive calorie burning.

Answer 3

Your metabolism is always burning calories. So long as your metabolism is going, you have run out of blood glucose (blood sugar) and muscle glycogen your body will burn its long term energy source: fat. If your work out went correctly, you should be burning mostly fat after a workout until you eat again. But this does not mean you shouldnt eat after a workout...
