HIIT VS CARDIO FOR FAT LOSS - IS HIGH, MEDIUM OR LOW INTENSITY BEST? // Is HIIT or LISS cardio better for fat loss? In this video, I'll compare HIIT vs MICT vs LISS.

We'll discuss HIIT or LISS for fat loss. HIIT or LISS for weight loss. We'll talk about the different types of cardio. HIIT or cardio for fat loss.

I'll go through the findings of two research studies that were published in 2021, which looked at HIIT and MICT for fat loss. They also analyzed health factors, like glucose management and cardiovascular fitness and cardiovascular health.

Although these studies looked at HIIT vs MICT, I'll mention how they apply to HIIT vs LISS cardio for fat loss. Is HIIT or LISS cardio better?

Is high medium or low intensity cardio best? Which is better HIIT or cardio?
I analyze HIIT versus cardio for fat loss, high intensity vs low intensity cardio, and
hiit or cardio for weight loss.

I talk about what kind of cardio I do myself and what I recommend to my online coaching clients, whether they are beginners or more advanced.

You'll be able to decide for yourself whether you want to use HIIT or LISS for fat loss. HITT or LISS for weight loss. And you'll decide for yourself, which is better HIIT or cardio.

Despite what these short studies say, people are more likely to stick to and enjoy steady-state cardio over hiit cardio in the long term. Most people who do hiit cardio will quit and never maintain a hiit cardio regimen.

I’m doing cardio 3 times a week - 2 x 20 minute running (with fast walking intervals every couple on minutes) & 1 x 40 minutes fast walking per week.

Low intensity cardio is always a winner because the body when he is on a deficit doesnt like so much stress the more stress you but the slower the body will want to lose fat doing high intensity like running, biking or hiit training your only burning glucose yes some fat but most glucose from muscles the only reason that people do high intensity is for burning more calories in less time but the amount of calories burn doesnt mean that your loosing more fat it means your wasting all the calories your burning

I do something closer to HIIT and swear by it but it's a bit different from HIIT for the sake of weight loss and arguably far less demanding. Weight loss isn't even the goal in our case (I don't even care how much I weigh so long as I can run really fast and jump really high and long). I also have this conjecture I want to run by you!

I was a competitive sprinter and long jumper on my track team. My PR was a little over 10.3 secs for 100m dash (something I can no longer match in my 40s) which made me the regional champion, although a tad shy of the Olympics. I had younger siblings who were cross country distance runners and they struggled much more with fat and weight loss even though they were frequently jogging 4 to 8 miles a day. I always thought there's a chance we sprinter types were doing something more optimal for fat loss as a result even though we didn't have to work so long and hard to get and stay lean. We also developed a more bulky build, especially in the glutes, quads, hams, and calfs.

Yet the way I trained wasn't like sprinting all out for 15 secs then jogging or walking and then, without fully catching our breath, sprinting again. I think I would have lacked the willpower to routinely do that even as a teen. What we did instead was a light warm-up jog, then stretches to limber up, drills to become more explosive, and then I'd do my 100m sprints but with much longer rest intervals between. I'd rest until I was fully recovered which could be as long as 10+ mins before I'd do the 100m dash again, since each time I'm coming at it fresh trying to match or beat my former record and always timing myself. That took a long time to train but the bulk of the training was spent resting. I'd also train auxiliary motions to boost my strength like leg press, calf raise, weighted squats, weighted pistol squats, as well as doing things like running uphills with weights strapped to my body.

I'd relate the long rest intervals to the difference between powerlifting and bodybuilding. Bodybuilders usually train with very short rest intervals between sets while lifting relatively lighter, while powerlifters often lift very close to their 1-rep max (although both tend to mix things up) and therefore need long rests to approach each set fresh. My sprint training is more comparable to the powerlifter than the bodybuilder.

For the weird conjecture I wanted to run by you as possible food for thought -- although it's admittedly not at all scientific -- is that perhaps distance runners have it worse in large part because they burn so many calories with their routine jogs! Someone jogging at a brisk pace for 8 miles/day will probably burn close to 1000 calories a day doing it and far more than I did as a sprinter, but as a result, they might prime their appetites to eat a bulk of those calories burnt. So what I noticed in my younger siblings who were distance runners is that they'd balloon up over vacations, in university when they ceased their routine jogging, and my little sister as well when she got pregnant and stopped for 9 months. It's probably not intuitive to us that, since we didn't jog 8 miles a given day, we should compensate by eating 1000 fewer calories that day.

So I think we sprinters might have had an edge is in part because we likely burned nowhere near as many calories in our training as the distance runners. As a result, we primed our eating habits to get or stay lean without relying on our training-based activities to burn off the bulk of what we ate as well as building muscle, speed, strength, growing our fast-twitch muscles, being light and explosive on our feet, in ways that boosted our metabolism even on the days we weren't training.

Thanks for watching! What type of cardio activities do you do? ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Another big mistake people make everytime is to not start training muscles lifting weights building strength on there training they always say when i build more physical condition then i will traing weights that is stupid because the first pounds you lose will determinate if your loosing fat or muscle another point is if you start to traing muscles 20 pounds less you will be more weaker abd have more hard time Building muscle because at the bigining when people are obese is the perfect oportunity to lift weights because the more fat and big mass the more stronger the body is without training

What are your thoughts in HIIT for over 40's, inflammation and cortisol levels?
