What do you guys think burns more cals....
Squats, leg press, stiff leg dead lifts, lunges, leg curls, calf raises at high intensity or a 30min run.
I honestly feel more spent and my heart seems to be working over time when I do leg day, but what do you guys think.

Which do you think is better for overall fat loss. Leg day or a 30min run?

Good question. Like to see some intelligent/ backed-up answers. I know if you elevate your heart rate and don't allow it to drop below a certain range you will burn lots of cals/fat and I know how intense squat sessioins can be. I would probably give a slight edge to running since there is no resting period.

How long is your leg workout... how short are your rest periods etc... A leg workout could EASILY burn more calories than a 30 minute run... EASILY. You can run if your legs are sore... it may be hard the first 5 minutes, but once the endorphins begin to release the soreness will subside until you are done running.

It depends but stick with hiit for now. BTW if by 10-15 min your not crying your eyes out begging for air your doing it wrong. HIIT should be short and intense.
