As much as I enjoy the barrage of dad-jokes on the - educational videos like this one right here are what I like the most on this channel. Thank you James!

James: We can be non-tribal and do both.
Human Race: Yeah, sorry. We don't do that here.

the ultimate cardio is a thing i like to call NINT protocol: no intensity no training. you get 24 hours a day to think about things, like the best way to hit those anabolic windows.

[MrCow]

Seriously, these research video's are top tier. Thank you so much!!

Used to be a football player in highschool. HIIT was all I knew. But now that I had back surgery, I needed to switch to longer steady paced cardio. Thank you, James, for putting out quality information. P.S. I got a V-Shred ad right after your vid lol.

I like steady state cardio as opposed to hiit. I'm sticking with what works for me.

MICT is great for MY mental health, it is a great time for meditation honestly. Makes me focus on something other than the bullshit around me.

Mate, I love a good 10k steps per day (with a pro pedometer monitored) and my joints love me for approaching cardio like this.
P. S. For the heart I swim, I jog sometimes, I play soccer (amateur). Cheers, glad I've been here for the past years.

I take 15 minute walks 3-4 times a day and it's changed so much for me. My sleep improved, my weight dropped easier, and according to my cardiologist that is what helped heal my two heart leaks. Compare that to the HIIT I did when I was a teen (insanity by beach body, ew) and I felt horrible and fatigued all the time and had two horrible leaks and blood regurgitation in my atrial and mitral valves.

I have been a personal trainer and personal trainer teacher since 1993, and the simplest advice I can give is this: you gotta sweat, and you gotta puff.

How you get that into your daily routine is up to you.

Best form of cardio often is the thing you enjoy and will be internally motivated to stick to long term.

Great video though, thanks very much. New subscriber here.

Great vid. I think the analysis shows what we probably all already intuitively knew. I get great results from HIIT, but I can’t do enough volume without exhausting myself. And I also get great results from MICT and I can do a lot more of it without getting hurt, but I don’t have the time to spend on all that training. What seems to work best for me is to do some of both. Just like the cross country coach had us doing back in high school in the 80’s. Go figure.

[donwinston]

I do both. HIIT helps make you a little stronger more quickly so you can eventually do MICT at a higher level.

[AthenaGate]

I have been going back and forth on this in my training. I settled on doing a mix, just to keep it interesting. Your channel has help me immensely in getting to my goals, appreciate the hard work.

[mrdragon]

I really do appreciate your videos, clearly communicated and clearly-sourced information with humor. I teach anatomy and I field a LOT of spontaneous student questions about fitness, and your videos actually help me to convey condensed/digested content without getting sidetracked too far from my current content.

[DaveCollins]

Awesome info, thanks. And such a refreshing change to have evidence-based info as opposed to Bro-based info and those pushing something...like gym

[icy_mitch]

I use both forms of Cardio. The HIIT helps me sprint to the fridge to get my food inside my metabolic window and MICT to walk to the store so I can purchase food for my 10 meals a day 😂

[Garymulholland]

As a HIIT, functional, boxing and strength group fitness instructor, I thoroughly enjoy and love your videos and intelligence that you’re sharing with the world. Thank you 🙏

[highnfire]

So hiit for vo2max and steady state for the ‘beetus. Thanks, Jimmy!

[zenawarrior]

Cortisol spikes with HIIT. MICT better for cortisol reduction. MiCT not as glamorous on a YT video😊💪🚶‍♀️💃Thank you for this 💙

[typeongtv]

Isn’t it funny when science backs up what seems to be intuitive? Great video.
