You cannot target fat loss!!!

You should have stopped while you were ahead rather than start adding a load of other myths!
Best to avoid using absolute phrases like "the only way....". Because if you think about it there are many methods to achieve fat loss not just one.
What about anything i said is a myth?
All I'm saying is the more you put in the more you get out... how is this a myth.. how is mixing hiit into your training not beneficial over just doing steady state cardio? How is shocking the body a myth?
Please let me know lol
As I said before, it depends on your goals. Sometimes doing "too much" cardio, pushing the limits and HIIT can actually work negatively as I mentioned - in my case, it would have affected my recovery for lifting. So there is one reason right there.
I lift 7 days a week, 2 to 3 days a week i do some form of hiit ...
Get some good bcaas and beta alanine, because it shouldn't be a recovery issue. Too much cardio can be negative especially to lifters which is why hiit is a much better option in my opinion
Look at a marathon runners body compared to a sprinters ...0 -

So, in you opinion, sprinters look better than marathoners. Gotcha7 -

Myths; shocking your body, everyone should do HIIT, kick starting your metabolism.
Tell me how I should prepare for a 100 mile cycling event.
Which is going to form the core of my training? Long duration rides of varying intensity a lot of which will be steady state or 20 minutes of HIIT?
HIIT is just one of many training options and not suitable for everyone, cardiac patients or the otherwise very unfit for example.
I do interval training by the way, hill repeats outdoors and up to 12 minute intervals for up to two hours indoors. Give it a go you may find you aren't as fit as you think.

You can't "shock" your body except with electricity and you can't kickstart your metabolism.13

Funny how people zerod in on the part where I'm challenging you to work hard and totally negated all the other positive things ....
If you don't want to push yourself then fine, i honestly don't care i was just trying to be helpful and to try to get people to see things from a new perspective... it seems as though people aren't willing to step out of their comfort zones, we can all jump on a treadmill and walk a few miles, get a little sweat going, have a little labored breathing.. and if this is working out for you then great! But at some point you're going to have to increase the speed, the incline and you're going to have to push yourself to get greater results its just the way it is.1 -
Hmmmm, and if you can't walk for 8 hours a day to burn more than you ever will with your half hour of HIIT don't bash those who can!
HIIT is good. Walking is good. Cardio is good. Lifting weights is good.
They all have relative strengths and weaknesses.
ETA: And your weight level changes will still depend on your caloric balance.
I've ran the new york marathon, i have no problem with walking and running long distances but it seems most people's goals here are to lose weight, maybe gain muscle.. why would someone looking to acheive those goals walk for hours on end? Why take that much time in the gym when it can be done more efficiently?
I never said not to walk, i said instead of doing steady state day in and day out, throw in some hiit, throw in some higher intensity exercise that will shock your body and cause you to burn more calories .... i don't see whats so wrong with that advice lol
^This is quite a bit different than this:Get yourselves a balanced diet and workout plan, do compound movements in the gym and stop walking on the treadmill for hours and hours, rev it up with some hiit training, get that heart rate up and the calories will burn extremely fast, you have to shock your bodies and keep it guessing!!!
Doing the same exercises over and over again, day i and day out while at first you'll lose some weight, will only lead to a plateau and slow progression with your goals.8 -

@coleg04 it's not that.

At the time when I was losing I had a newborn that didn't sleep well and breastfeeding around the clock. I also didn't have a lot of time to workout.
Here is the main reason though. I didn't need to. My results have been fantastic doing exactly what I've been doing.
Now that I am bulking cardio especially HIIT is definitely not in line with my goals. Too many calories to make up for. No thanks !7 -

The thing to keep in mind is that people on this site have a variety of goals, a variety of starting points, and a variety of limitations. Your OP states that there is only one possible way to do this and that steady-state cardio will cause plateaus and won't get you to your goals. People just starting out will take that to heart at a time when they should be encouraged to try anything and everything they can/want.16 -

I don't think its that at all. I think what folks are trying to say is there are diet & fitness myths out there that keep getting repeated. I came on to this forum with all kinds of things I believed i.e. starvation mode, metabolism boosters. I could go on and on.
There are some pretty knowledgable folks on here try not to read into HOW they say things but WHAT they are saying.
As I've said I've learned a ton!!12 -
Kickstarting your metabolism and shocking your body to gain muscle, lose weight and burn more cals is a very real thing...
At this point I'm over the convo, at 215lbs and 7% bodyfat my body speaks for its self, my lifts in the gym, my runs and all the gains ive made just this year alone after having surgery in January and losing almost 60lbs that i gained after my injury ... but what do i know, I'm only ripped and in great shape lmao1 -

@coleg04 people responding aren't afraid if a simple 15 minute hour.(sprinting for 30 seconds on a treadmill with 1 minute walks is hardly hardcore hour). It's the myths he us saying that are the issue. You haven't addressed the shock the body and kickstart your metabolism.8 -

So this is just anecdotal, you have no credentials like personal training certifications.10 -

More important than just reading one study in isolation is being able to understand what it means in context. Get back to us when you can do that.2

Its not bro science its actual science, please don't insult my intelligence, ive spent countless hours researching what i need to do to achieve my goals... no i don't have a trainers certification but i have done my due diligence to research what needs to be done and the science behind it, I've had trial and error in the gym and still do to this day... when i share something ot isn't just me talking out my *kitten* its me sharing something i know works because I've researched it, tried it and have seen optimal results0
-
I can post scientific study links all day long if you'd like, i base my opinion on facts so anyone who wants to challenge that I'm game but I'd say challenge yourself in the gym that'd probably be a better use of your time0
