High Versus Low: Clearing Up The Cardio Dilemma
After my recent article on how to increase your metabolism, there has been a fair bit of talk over which form of cardio is better. It isn’t so straightforward. Both forms have their advantages, and disadvantages. I can’t stress enough how much this industry jumps on fads and how important it is to keep an open mind when you are reading and discussing concepts.
It is generally accepted now that high intensity exercise will burn more calories and aid fat loss, and therefore is the right form to choose. It is true that training above your ‘fat burning zone’ will yield better results in that respect. But it’s not that simple, and in many cases, low intensity exercise will and should be prescribed to people.
