I can't believe I was doing it wrong all these years.High Intensity Training or Low intensity training- Which One Will Burn fat faster?
It’s no wonder why so many are struggling to lose weight with all the conflicting weight loss advise out there. Everywhere you look you hear people saying do your cardio workouts long and steady. Many say low intensity training will burn more fat. They claim high intensity training will burn more carbohydrates then fat. Is this right?
Wrong
I will explain why high-intensity training is best for burning body fat.
Low intensity is working with your heart rate about 60% to 65% of your maximum heart rate.
High intensity is working with your heart rate about 75% to 85% of your maximum heart rate. 
How high intensity training will burn fat faster.
Low intensity training only burns fat calories during the exercise. Once you are done the fat burning stops.
On the other hand High intensity exercise spikes your metabolism long after you are done with your workout. Sometimes up to 24 hours later depending on how long and intense your workout was.
Low intensity does not support or build muscle mass. Keeping the muscle mass is crucial to burn body fat. Muscle burns fat even when you are resting. Muscle will keep your metabolism going and burning fat. Building and maintaining muscle is absolutely crucial.
On the other hand High-intensity workouts potentially add muscle mass. Look at a sprinter and a marathon runner. You can see that the sprinter has more muscle mass. You won’t get huge and bulky by just doing high intensity training but a tight sculpted body.
What is high intensity training?
High intensity training is where you have short bursts of exertion followed by short recovery times.
Here are some examples
Example 1 Cardio machine
start with a warm up light and easy.
Then go high intensity for 30 seconds, then go 30 seconds at a lower power(recovery). Repeat for 20 to 30 minutes.
The more advanced you are the shorter recovery time you have.
An advanced person may go 30 seconds to a 60 seconds intense and take a 10 to 15 second recovery.
Note: It’s alway important to change up you workout routines this includes your weight lifting workouts as well. Your body will adjust and stagnate if you consistently do the same thing all the time.
High intensity training can be done with any kind of exercise. Swimming, bike riding, running, jump rope, stair climbing etc. Do what you love to do just do it with high intensity training.
For example you can sprint up a hill and walk down it. Find a staircase at a nearby high school or hotel and do sprints up the stairs. Don’t stop during your recovery just go easier.
Bodyweight Workouts -These are great to do right at home or outside. Try doing one or two workouts a week at home with just bodyweight based exercises.
