Okay the great debate of what cardio exercise to do, has been around for years and every week somebody will ask me my opinion on this subject.
So here's the argument.... which is better for fat loss slow steady cardio or shorter more intense inerval traaining?
Lets investigate shall we, well both side have very good cases:
With slow staedy cario it is said that keeping your exercise intensity between 50 and 75% of your maximum heart rate will keep you in a fat burning zone, meaning the majority of calories or the greater portion of calories will come from fat.
On the other hand with the intervals you burn more total calories in less time, in more intense shorter bursts.
So what's best for fat loss?
Well although there is no right or wrong, i believe you will get results a lot faster with the interval training and you don't have to spend hours in the gym to get results.
But the main thing is to do the thing you prefer/enjoy doing more, why? because if you enjoy your workouts your more likely to stick at it.
Most importantly................Keep moving!
