What's The best form of Cardio for fat loss

This has been a debate of researchers for decades: When it comes to Fat-Loss, are individuals better off doing HIIT or Traditional Steady State Cardio?

There's no doubt that exercise, of any kind, is great for helping people lose and/or maintain a healthy weight. But with that said, surely one form is better than the other, right?

Well let's outline a few of the different forms of cardio:

1. HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training)

Let's start with the most popular interval training. This is when you perform 1–4-minute bouts of activity at an intensity equivalent to 80–100% of your maximum heart rate. These intense bouts are followed by lower-intensity recovery periods.

2. SIT (Sprint Interval Training)

Similar to HIIT training, SIT is another form of high intensity training. SIT is more intense than HIIT. Here, you alternate 8–60-second all-out sprints (done at 100% intensity) with a short recovery.

3. Moderate Intensity Cardio

Is the most common form of cardio seen in big box gyms, This is typically characterized as running or cycling and is performed at 50-70% maximum heart rate.

4. LISS (Low Intensity Steady State)

First popularized by bodybuilders and physique competitors, this form of cardio is becoming as mainstream as HIIT. This form of cardio is characterized as doing a very low intensity exercise at a steady pace (such as walking, often at an incline) for a prolonged period of time (often 60+ min).

Now that I've laid out the multiple forms of cardio out there, let's get to the nitty gritty, which form is best for fat loss????

It may sound cliché, but the answer is: The type you enjoy and will commit to in the long-term. Whatever form of exercise will allow you to be consistent and happy will be best and that will vary for every individual based on lifestyle, workout preference, time, injury, and equipment availability.

What I tell most people is try a little of everything. WIth most things in life, moderation and variety is key. A little of this, a little of that, it all helps. Keep it fresh, mix it up.
