  • HIIT is my jam. Definitely more engaging than marathon cardio. One of the reasons I was always drawn to weightlifting is the rep/set structure; by providing defined structure and goals, I am constantly driven to try for those goals during a workout. Long-term cardio is long enough that it becomes dreary and I get bored. HIIT nicely nails that set/rep structure, and it's a hell of a challenge to boot.

    I've heard - not read, mind you, so I don't know where the science is - that HIIT is best in combination with other forms of cardio. That is, HIIT alone will give you explosive and short-duration endurance, but that long-form cardio is still needed if you're aiming to train for long-form endurance.

    Swimming is a good time. I love swimming but I hate what it does to my hair.

    But in all seriousness, if cardio is what you are looking for then I would also recommend a heart rate monitor.
    As a rule of thumb try to keep your heart rate at "180 - your age" for a good aerobic session.

  • OH HEY, LOOK AT THIS
  • I think this all forgets that that Slice of Pizza is worth the 50 minutes I have to run on the treadmill :-p

    That does not appear to be true at all. The brain burns about 20% of your RESTING metabolism (300 of 1300 Calories).

    Running calculators say I burn some 700 Calories in a run alone...

  • Milestone day!
