HIIT vs. Steady State Cardio: Which is Better?

The Cardio Debate

Should you sprint intervals or go for a long jog? Let's break it down.

HIIT (High-Intensity Interval Training)

Pros: Time-efficient, burns calories after the workout (EPOC effect), improves VO2 max.
Cons: High impact, requires longer recovery.

LISS (Low-Intensity Steady State)

Pros: Low stress on the body, great for recovery days, builds aerobic base.
Cons: Takes more time to burn the same calories.

Conclusion: A mix of both is often best for overall fitness!
