🔥 KNOW THE DIFFERENCE 🔥
High-Intensity Interval Training (HITT):
Quick energy: requires quick energy, so the body burns carbs because they can be accessed and broken down faster than fat and protein.
Rapidly depletes glycogen: depletes glycogen stores so quickly that the body is forced to burn fat.
Increases metabolic rate: increased metabolic rate for hours after exercise, which can lead to burning more calories.
Low-Intensity Steady State (LISS) Cardio:
Steady pace: exercise is performed at a slow, steady pace, which allows the body to supply more oxygen. May be easier to recover from
Fat burning heart rate zone: exercises target fat burning over carbohydrates.
Fat oxidation: improves the body's ability to use fat as fuel instead of glycogen.
If you're trying to lose fat the BEST results will always come from you being in a calorie deficit alongside doing LISS cardio
