The Debate Over High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT)
Combining HIIT and steady-state cardio has become a popular approach among fitness enthusiasts and athletes. The idea behind this training method is to combine the benefits of both types of exercises to optimize fat burning and improve overall fitness.
Steady-state cardio, such as jogging or cycling at a moderate intensity for an extended period, is known for its ability to improve cardiovascular health, endurance, and aerobic capacity. On the other hand, HIIT involves alternating periods of high-intensity exercise with short rest periods, which has been shown to burn more calories and improve metabolic health in less time than steady-state cardio.
By combining HIIT and steady-state cardio, you can enjoy the benefits of both types of exercises while minimizing their drawbacks. For example, you can start your workout with a 5-10 minute warm-up of steady-state cardio, followed by a few rounds of HIIT intervals, and then finish with a longer session of steady-state cardio to cool down.
Another way to combine HIIT and steady-state cardio is to alternate between the two types of exercises on different days of the week. For example, you can do HIIT on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, and then do steady-state cardio on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday.
It's important to note that combining HIIT and steady-state cardio may not be suitable for everyone, especially those who are new to exercise or have medical conditions. It's always best to consult with a healthcare professional or a certified personal trainer before starting a new workout routine.
