When deciding between HIIT vs steady state cardio for fat loss, consider this: HIIT may burn more calories post-workout due to EPOC (excess post-exercise oxygen consumption), but steady state can often lead to a higher total calorie burn over longer sessions. Aim for at least 30 minutes of steady state at a target heart rate of 65-75%. Which cardio do you prefer? #deloadweek #overtrainingprevention #periodization #trainingcycle #smarttraining
