You see the studies, you hear people praise both....the 'fat burning zone', the high/low heart rates, the balls to the wall sprints...well, what is better? In my 100% honest opinion....both.
I always did low intesity (incline walk, jog etc) in order to cut, but then when i play sports (baseball, basketball etc) I feel almost sluggish, so I started HIIT. Well that can really take its toll on you too.
Now I do monday, wednesday and Friday hard cardio. Whether it be a longer harder run followed by a brisk walk or HIIT, it is intense. Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday I do about 45 min of 5.5% incline walk at 3.1 mph. I feel better all around doing it this way and the results are great.
Just thought I would pipe in with something that works for me and MAY work well for you too!
