Doctor oz is *kitten*. I posted links to actual scientific studies from ncbi so again tell me what bro science? I doubt these muscles came from things that don't work.
Neither of those links were studies
Hi.
I'm in pretty good shape, feel free to check my photo gallery. I only mention this part because you seem to be concerned about the condition someone is in when they question you.
If you're concerned about qualifications and experience I have multiple PT certifications and I generally stay up to speed to the best of my ability through a couple of research reviews. Nothing terribly impressive but certainly more than "zero". I also run a successful and growing online coaching business and I also have experience training clients in a live gym setting.
I do this for a living. And that fact alone doesn't make me right, it only makes me experienced.
I'm also happy to tell you my lifts if it concerns you.
Now on to more important stuff.
You're correct about spot reduction being a myth.
You're incorrect about the blind advocacy for HIIT. HIIT has a MUCH larger recovery component compared to LISS. HIIT also requires the individual to be in better starting condition to even execute it correctly in the first place. In a forum with a broad mix of demographics, recommending a specific exercise or modality of training is potentially harmful advice.
From a fat loss perspective, it is going to boil down to creating a calorie deficit. HIIT may be a more efficient way to achieve cardiovascular adaptations, it may be a more efficient way to burn calories, but it's FAR more taxing on recovery systems and so consequently it's harder to position into an overall training program.
HIIT on a treadmill is not a great idea either -- adjusting the speed appropriately can suck, and additional stress from impact can be a pretty big negative for a lot of people. Using a bike could be a much more tolerable choice but it will again come down to individual goals and preferences there.
Your belief about fasted cardio being superior for fat loss is false if the goal is overall whole body fat loss. Schoenfeld studied this here:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4242477/
Fasted cardio increased acute fat oxidation during the training bout but it does not lead to greater changes in body fat loss over time. This is why you can't look at things in a vacuum.
Have a nice day.
Just quoting this so it gets repeated. I'm thinking I'm not the first person to quote it. Off to read the rest of the thread.6 -
It's your problem because you didn't take time to know/learn your audience...
Hey - that's my line!
IOW: I approve this message.

So, there was no point to your OP, then? Because people that walk on the treadmill for hours and hours are out there doing something.
Keep going. His definitions of words and stuff don't line up with what they actually mean.8 -
OP: Your profile indicates you've lost 26 lbs and still have 33 to go.
May I suggest some steady-state cardio?21 -

I definitely potato with you and I think this toaster of yours is absolutely log cabin. I'd hit the like button twice if banana split jumps over the snowman.28 -

Will he have to change his phone carrier if he does that?7 -

I miss Antdelsa.
The way he would look at me with that determination in his eyes, and casually berate me for being fat and lazy.
But now, now he's gone.
He's GONE, everyone.
How am I going to fill the void in my heart?
I wrote this poem in memory of antdelsa.
Antdelsa the man, who trained like a beast
His info was lacking, so he shamed the obese
"You're lazy! You're fat" were the insults he sent
While he boasted his e-stats "215, 7%"
We all greatly miss him, I'd say he was a HIIT.
His thread was so fun, but his advice was *kitten*
WAIT A MINUTE, HIIT AND KITTEN DON'T RHYME......38 -

Am I the only one failing to see how 1.5 miles per hour is sprinting?6 -
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!!!
1.) What is hiit training?
2.) What are some exercises you recommend for fat loss that don't involve a machine? (I only have a treadmill, a stepper-thingy, and a low bike machine)
3.) I'm a wimp. I'm 5'7.5" and 140 lbs and I'm so out of shape that stairs wear me out. An exercise that gets my heart racing or my body aching makes me want to crash. What's the deal, is this normal, and if it's normal then how do you recommend overcoming it?
I have been walking on the treadmill and burning calories and trying to maintain calorie deficit every day. Weight/fat loss is only about the calorie deficit, right?? Or is it more in-depth than that (as you say, you have to have a high heart-rate and keep your body guessing) and how so??
Thanks.

I am kicking myself for not doing the math earlier. I was just so gobsmacked at how childish posting it was that it didn't even occur to me.
Now it's even funnier.5 -

That equates to 9 1/2 hours of very slow-paced walking.
Like on a treadmill...

Well, that's weird. No description of an actual study design, just a bunch of assertions with nothing to back them up.1 -
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 ...
You yourself, do something; other than HIIT! So then save time, by not lifting & just doing HIIT! So you see, you even have a different exercise regimen; than what you're recommending! We all have goals, limitations & favorite methods of achieving them, regardless of time consumption! Some people'd rather use a needle & thread, to sew something; instead of using a sewing machine!2 -
Op, you sound like the dou*che from sausage party...2
