BaGearA Posted January 6, 2022 Share 10 hours ago, ACE Cycles said: Perhaps, but I don't see how 30mins HIIT burns more calories post workout than 1hr at Z2. HIIT also forces your body to use glycogen reserves, where Z2 uses fat reserves. I'd love to see an article explaining the science behind your theory. That said, any of these practices would be ineffective in weight loss without maintaining a daily calorie deficit it doesn't necessarily , the key word here is AFTER i.e. go ahead and do the 2hr session , but after do the 30 min HIIT and you see massive numbers in the calories burned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ouzo Posted January 6, 2022 Share That’s not bad. I downloaded the app and tracked my food and snacks today. (And I snacked a lot today) 1780 calories lets add some margin for inaccuracies and call it 2000 calories, the app says I should be at 3000 in order to lose the weight I want to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morne and I are discussing 1hr Z2 VS 30mins HIIT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jewbacca Posted January 6, 2022 Share HIIT weight/movement/gymnastics will shed you way faster than your 1 hour in zone 2. If you want to lose weight, cardio is junk. lechatnoir and MDJ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s moot though…because my point was you’ll burn more for longer AFTER workout doing 30min HIIT than cruising in z2 for an hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you're right, but you can do 2hrs of Z2 every single day without risk of injury and without depleting your glycogen reserves... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Less in the off-season and after big races. More in the build up to big races I would guess (I'm not a coach). Paging Mr. Wakefield....

I did it for 2 weeks and was fastidious about it, but once I knew what was in stuff, it became easy just by selecting the right things and being mindful of portion control. i was unsuccessful at both of those until i saw the numbers.

Steady Spin Posted January 7, 2022 Share Don't get caught out with "low fat" or "fat free" foods. Compare the sugar and calories. Had a shock when we compared mayonnaise. Almost double the amount the amount compared to the regular stuff. TheoG 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ispeed_V Posted January 7, 2022 Share Simple method is to ensure calorie intake is less than calories burned on a daily/weekly basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
