HIIT vs LISS Cardio: Which Burns More Fat?
A practical comparison of HIIT and steady state cardio for fat loss.
HIIT vs LISS
Both work. The difference is time cost and recovery cost.
| HIIT | LISS | |
|---|---|---|
| Session | 12-20 min | 30-50 min |
| Fatigue | High | Low |
| Interferes with lifting | Sometimes | Rarely |
Use burpees, jump rope and high knees for HIIT; elliptical and stair climber for LISS. Track output with the calories burned calculator.
