A discussion off WannaBeBig.com stirred up this question.
Does HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) produce a stronger/more efficient cardiovascular system than normal cardio exercises (running, biking, etc)?
My questions about HIIT:
1) I don't understand how HIIT will make your heart stronger. All I found was that HIIT will burn more fat than long duration cardio. We aren't talking about fat burning but rather cardiovascular fitness .
2) How does maxing out your heart rate for 20 minutes make your heart better at endurance (read: day to day activities)?
Don't you kind of train for the activity you're going to do?
So if you want to lift XXXlbs worth of weight, naturally you would go and Lift Weights.
Therefore, if you want to have a heart that will beat stronger for long periods of time (read: all day long, walking, sitting, sleeping, etc), wouldn't you train your heart under conditions of longer duration? |
