    Just curious: does quarelling over fitness make you a more fit person?

    No. It reveals your personal dogmas...

    Internet fight!

    The OP was just a question. Did it say anything about being in better shape then anyone. Nope but one of the answer came back as people wanting minimal effort for good results which I interpret as quick fix and being lazy.

    I won't disagree with this. I can see you interpreting people accusing you of doing the "simple quick fixes".

    Yes, what you are doing has its place. If you are very cramped for time, you can get good results from short, high intensity workouts. That's not a bad thing.

    But judging other people's fitness level from their pictures and saying that they can't do thing at "your level". Dude, show some class. You're looking very immature.


    and to be clear the profile pic he judged is mine.... on the left I was 375 pounds on the right was last week at 215.

    Judge me.

    no judgments here... looking good man

    Apparently, he also judged my profile pic. I'm in the best shape of my life. Judge me.

    And it was me saying that people always want maximum results with minimum effort. That's a MFP trend. Also, the people doing that kind of thing in my gym aren't the most serious about their training. I made a comment with what I previously noticed around me.

    I also don't think that doing anything a maximum effort for a short burst of time is very smart on the long run. No wonders people are saying they are injuries prone doing things like HIIT.

    People... Always trying to get the maximum results with the minium effort.

    Do you know what cardio acceleration is because I know 100% you could not do it to my intensity. MINIMUM EFFORT. Why workout for two hours when you can workout for a hour at higher intensity which raises metabolism more?

    You must have some unusual talent if you know 100% I could not do it.

    You should trademark this: Judging people fitness level by an internet forum thread answer!

    I did not use the forums just so you know. Also as for seeing if you could workout at my intensity level. I do not know if you jump rope but if you do can you jump rope at 60 revolutions in 20 seconds?
    jump puppy JUMP

    I read a fascinating article about HIIT when it was first being introduced, long before it was brought in as a mainstream form of exercise. Do you know what it was origionally created for? It was for intermediate/competitive athletes to make large improvements over their already extremely high levels of performance. The article stressed multiple times that IT IS NOT FOR BEGINNERS or anyone who are not at a competitive level of fitness. The athletes who introduced it into their regimine made massive gains in performance. however, it is extremely taxing on the body and a high risk form of exercise.

    Now, it's "Go HIIT or Go Home!" Then people are getting injured. Shocker.

    Pardon my ignorance, but what IS cardio acceleration?

    OP, not a great idea to start slamming people if you want helpful feedback. Just a thought.

    Cardio acceleration is doing a form of cardio during the rest time in weight training.

    well some would have basically the same argument, only on the opposite side of the coin, for running marathons

    Eating correctly nothing get compromise.

    i'm just saying i think i'd get a better weight workout if i focused on that, and the same for the cardio.

    I don't do any other exercises other than the Hawaii Chair.

    be careful man, don't hurt yourself. definetly take a day off inbetween


    I can do at least 3 hours on the chair, i can sit way more intensley then you


    pfftt.... That's nothing. I did 4 hours on the beach chair in Florida a couple of weeks ago.
    Now try doing arm curls with 16 oz of Miller Lite at the same time and I can scratch my butt at 20 revolutions per minute in between sets. And I didn't even stop to reapply sun tan lotion.

    Now beat that.

    Slow steady cardio also has there cons too.

    The debate should be cardio acceleration vs HIIT.

    This is Ludicrous! 60 revs in 20 seconds ... check... actually I just did 63 in 20 seconds (took a couple attempts to be honest).... and I am currently 30+ lbs overweight, and at my physical worst. But in past I have been trained for skipping rope (used to box competitively in high school).

    Not to sound rude, your analysis of fitness doesn't even scratch the surface! Please formulate a better counter point!

    It says I am seeing more and more definition from minimal muscle loss and lots of fat loss. Also says a lot of people are really bad at guess my weight.

    Here is something to consider that will really blow your mind. HIIT by definition is High Intensity Interval Training typically something like, 2 minutes on 30 seconds off or something like that to get your heart rate up into zone 4 or close to vo2 max then drop down into zone 2-3 rinse and repeat for 20 minutes or less. Cardio acceleration is high intensity training keeping your heart rate in the same zone (albeit likely higher than an off interval) for 15-20 minutes.

    With that being said, wouldn't cardio acceleration be closer by definition to steady state cardio than HIIT? So you are kind of debating yourself as to what is better, because no one here has said one is better than the other.

    right?
