Episode 3079:

Eric Leija breaks down the pros and cons of LISS and HIIT, revealing that while HIIT offers faster fat loss and aerobic gains in less time, LISS may be more sustainable and supportive of muscle preservation. The takeaway: the most effective cardio is the one you’ll actually stick with, consistency beats intensity if enjoyment is missing.

Quotes to ponder:

"While HIIT may be more effective for fat loss, it’s not a good long-term strategy if you dread the activity so much you avoid it."

"One study found that it took around 6-8 weeks of LISS to achieve the same amount of aerobic endurance (VO2 max) improvement seen in just 2 weeks of consistent HIIT."

"While a 20 minute HIIT workout can burn as many calories as a 40-60 minute LISS workout, the HIIT exercise also boosts your metabolism for up to 24 hours afterward."
