Is cardio (especially hiit) supposed to burn fat or is it just

>>41080821
both. also why is that woman dressed like that? women fitness truly is a meme

>>41080821
yeah not dying early, ask zyzz

it's for health, you think all these ripped dudes walking around at such a low body fat they can't get a hard on are healthy? Generally speaking, they're not and die early

>>41080836
Didn't that shitskin overdose something also.

Cardio increases cardiovascular strength, decreases resting heart rate and gives you much more endurance/stamina.

It also burns a lot of calories when you do it seriously, even just a 20 minute jog then 20 mins of walking back burns 400-500 calories if you are pushing yourself to breathlessness.

>Like is there a point in doing cardio except for having a better endurance if you don't go over your calories limit?

Endurance is a huge thing, building endurance is a great thing and even if it was the only benefit, itd be worth it.

Not overdosed, but throughout his life he took a lot of cardiotoxic substances (roids, cutting agents and shitloads of mandy and sniff)
it was just too much for the lad

Can/should you do HIIT daily? Only for 20 minutes, 1 minute burst 2 minute rests with warmup/cooldown periods.

>1 minute burst
>2 minute rest

I feel like you are doing it wrong

>>41080999
You can use different burst:rest ratios depending on your fitness level/preferences but he should probably keep it 1:1, even if he has to reduce the total amount of time he does it for. Also, check'd
>>41080993
Daily might be a bit excessive unless you're trying to lose a lot of weight/bodyfat plus it will probably be too tiring and will detract from your lifting. 2-3x a week should be enough

I fucking love HIIT training, wont do it so often tho because combined with all my other training i could get overtrained easily.

I am training for kickboxing contest now so more HIIT and less long cardio. Yesterday did a HIIT that simulates the 2min round fight.

30s Running
30s Jogging
30s Sprint as hard as you can
1 minutes rest

/=1 round.

Managed to do 6 rounds.

Forgot to add that the 1min rest is active rest by walking.

>is there a point in doing cardio except for having a better endurance

No other point. Cardio is for cardiovascular gains. It's good for health. Exercise in general is an ineffective way to create a caloric deficit since reducing your eating doesn't require extra time spent and less effort. No point spending even 20min on a run if you could spend zero and still achieve the same deficit. And a deficit induced by exercise still makes you just as hungry as one induced by reduced eating.

Yeah so you don't get a heart attack kek

i never do any cardio and only lift weights. my heart rate is around 50. is there even any point in doing cardio for me?

If you're a NEET I advise getting a stationary bike and browsing 4chan on your phone while pedaling 3 hours 5-6 days a week. ;)
