Having a realistic goal is MANDATORY to achieve your Weight/Fat Loss goals. Without a goal, you have NO direction!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A sustainable approach to your goals is important as it limits the amount of stress you place on yourself both physically and mentally. It can also help you develop good habits during the process, which will benefit your overall fitness journey and health in the long run👌🏿.

Having a clear understanding of how much weight you may need to lose in order to see the physical differences you want is key. Once you accept this, you learn to enjoy the process a lot more!

EVERYONE should be doing some type of . Let's stop being lazy now, It's good for your heart.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
LISS involves staying at a low intensity and steady heart rate for a long duration (30mins to 60 mins). The low impact nature of LISS places less stress on your joints making it suitable for all fitness levels, particularly beginners and those recovering from injuries. For well trained individuals LISS can also be be added in to aid after intense weight sessions. As LISS takes long to do, it may be harder to fit in and is also easy to find boring. HOWEVER, you can speed up the time and make it more enjoyable by watching something you enjoy on your phone (make sure your phone is charged).
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
HIIT generally involves a period of high intensity work (5s to 20s) followed by a period of low intensity recovery (however long you need to be able to EFFICIENTLY do the work period again) which is then repeated for a specific amount of rounds (10 to 20mins total time). HIIT is quite demanding on the body making it harder to recover from, so if you're a beginner it's probably wise to ease into it. Likewise, if you're experienced and doing quite a few heavy weight sessions a week, HIIT will probably be the last thing on your mind. (You should still challenege yourself though 😅). If you're an , HIIT can potentially replicate the constant change in intensity and heart rate that occurs in sport. This gets you more conditioned for competition, so add in a few of these sessions for your goals.

MY CARDIO ADVICE ❗⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1️⃣ Assess your situation (goals and experience) before starting a cardio routine.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2️⃣ Make sure the type of cardio you're doing is something you enjoy, as this increases the chances of you sticking to it.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
3️⃣ To get the full benefit of cardio it's best to just mix it up where you can, so your body becomes more efficient at using both energy systems ( and ).
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
4️⃣ If you're doing cardio to aid fat / weight loss, they both burn so don't worry too much about which one could potentially burn more fat, just start MOVING!

DO NOT turn lifting into cardio if your goal is to build and . You can't use muscular endurance rest protocols when training for hypertrophy or strength as it just doesn't make any sense.

The amount of rest you take between sets will depend on what you are trying to achieve with training.

I wouldnt really suggest using weights for , but training for Muscular Endurance is basically the "cardio of weight training". Short rest periods (
