someone aware me on why HIIT is better than LISS when losing bodyfat? srs

[cellshot]

srs.

i am aware that your body burns cals even after the HIIT session, but other than that, what if the cals you burn from the HIIT (+ hours after) equals the cals you burnt from the LISS session? wouldn't the same amount of cals burnt total result in the same loss in bf%?

someone aware me.

wut is liss

[iBrooklyn]

aware me of liss

wut is liss

low intensity steady state or somethin like that

If you burn the same amount of calories in two cardio sessions, but one takes 45 minutes and the other takes 2 hours, which is better?

[Ripht]

with HIIT your body will carry on burning fat for a good day or 2 after the workout, meaning you can constantly keep ur metablisim higher. where as with LISS this doesn't happen to such an extent. HIIT also increases the amount of HGH ur body produces for a good 1-2 hours after the workout

what if time is not an issue?

[bombdigity]

calories burnt are calories burnt. just because people say hiit is better does not make liss totally redundant. hiit is simply more efficient (more calories in less time).

a more effective form of liss would be to steadily increase the pace of your run. however then it would not be liss anymore

[WRXbrah]

Think sprinter vs long distance runner. Takes less time to burn same calories thus preventing muscle loss along with the fat loss.

damn up to 2 days possibly? skepticalhippo.jpg

i thought it was only for like 6-7 hours following the hiit session?

[GetHugeBrah]

I prefure low intensity.

HIIT burns like 2x the cals in the same time as low intensity. But my treadmill is shtty and i like to fast walk/jog for 30-45min

this.

and hiit raisng ur matabolism over several hours/day after sounds like bro science to me.

imo if u are lifting hard 4 or more days a week doing hiit can be kinda hard to keep up w/.

that's what i thought. but almost every thread i see about losing bf, 90% of the time HIIT is the preferred cardio option, so that **** made me wonder why

[sloppyjoe1]

Doing low intensity cardio for a long time especially before breakfast or after a workout isn't as muscle sparing as HIIT is. HIIT is done quickly and is very related to bodily chemical releases that weight lifting provides such as growth hormone.

LISS you tend to have to go for a lot longer to burn the same amount of calories, but you end up going past your carbs and fats if you are going for long enough and start using up protein, I think.

[cardioman_23]

no because hiit raises your metabolism far higher for far longer than low, up to i think 24 hours

[felicibusbrevis]

I always do the high impact sprinting type stuff, and this kind of rapid fire but not very long intensity promotes muscle strength and explosiveness. Look at the build of a sprinter and a distance runner, and tell me who looks stronger. One is much faster and more explosive, but the distance guy has great (often much greater) endurance.

I wouldn't say HIIT is better for losing body fat, but it sure is better for keeping explosive muscles on your physique too, in my opinion. (and that higher muscle mass will raise base metabolic rate, no? Not always sure about how true that is)

I lift 5 days a week and do HIIT twice a week on 2500 calories a day and im making it.

HIIT is shiit when it comes to losing bodyfat because you will burn more muscle with HIIT.

[damlurker]

just matter of efficiency..

everything you do expands energy, which you need to supply from your body's stoes of energy..

lol you could just move a chair up and down a staircase and you'll still "lose fat".. its just not the most efficient way to do it..

I do both low intensity and HIIT.. depends on fatigue level and whatever I feel like doing on that particular day..

I thought HIIT promoted less muscle loss

I currently perfer LISS atm as well. Only do HIIT like once a week, LISS 2x. takintheeasywayout.jpg (IMO) lulz

LISS you tend to have to go for a lot longer to burn the same amount of calories, but you end up going past your carbs and fats if you are going for long enough and start using up protein, I think.

but if time isn't a concern and if you take bcaa's or a protein shake beforehand, would that help perserve muscle?

besides if you perform LISS at a low intensity, don't you burn mainly fat?

higher intensity uses carbs mainly as source of fuel, low intensity usually uses fat as fuel source. right? remember, i'm not considering time as a variable in this.

no because hiit raises your metabolism far higher for far longer than low, up to i think 24 hours

link or anything that says HIIT leads to elevated levels for that long?

[cardioman_23]

yea this is true, hiit doesnt burn muscle, it builds it in fact look at sprinters versus marathan runners, long distances burn muscle for energy

It does, way way less. Just look at sprinters.

Distance runners have terrible physiques because their bodies have catabolized all their muscle too.

Not true, HIIT is more muscle sparing than LIT. Your only doing HIIT for 10-15 minutes...if you treat your HIIT sessions like a weight lifting session (pre+post workout meal) then muscle will be spared. If you think about it an HIIT session is very similar to a weight lifting session, both high intensity, both are anaerobic, both increase growth hormone and when you do HIIT you go for 15-25 seconds and take a rest...sounds a lot like doing a set with weights and then resting until the next set.

That's the common trend among people, they think that low intensity targets fat...I think theres an article with layne saying how that isn't true or not completely true or something.

lul wut.........other way round, HIIT uses more fast twitch fibers which make up more of the your muslce, if anything HIIT can help you increase muscle mass, plus the fact it increases HGH production. Where as LISS works more slow twitch because its not as explosive.

In an article on here it showed after a study being done people who did HIIT over LIT lost minimal weight (some even gained) but they lost just as much bodyfat.
