Received this question... and my response.
"Which form of cardio, HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) or steady state cardio works best for fat loss".
Dear "B" I'll start off with a quick definition of the two:
HIIT: Any workout that alternates between intense bursts of activity and fixed periods of less-intense activity or even complete rest. For example, 2 minute walk, 1 minute sprint and so on.
Steady State Cardio: is simply a cardio workout that is a continuous, steady effort for an extended period of time.
When you read on the web each have their own list of benefits, and why you should be doing the one an not the other, and so on.
This is one of those things, and I know it's probably one of the most irritating answers, but it differs from person to person. For me personally, I only do steady state, and it works brilliantly for me. I have experimented between the two with clients, and find that they will respond well to one, but not the other. I suggest that you stick to one form of cardio for 2 weeks, and then switch to the other and see how your body response.
