Is the HIIT effect of 20 ~ 30 minutes really better than running for a long time?
First of all, what is HIIT? Refers to high-intensity interval training, which is used to practice cardiopulmonary function and impact speed, and has obvious fat-reducing effect when combined with other training. This special training method has been popular in Europe and America since it came out, burning high-quality fat and calories in a short time, which is very suitable for modern people's lifestyle.

Quite a few fitness professionals believe that 20 minutes of training with HIIT20 is more effective than running on a treadmill for an hour. The key is that the former works better, saving as much as 40 minutes. This training method will exhaust 100% physical strength in 20 minutes. The specific method is 1 minute continuous high-intensity exercise and 20 seconds rest. At least 6 cycles.

However, is this exercise better than the traditional fat-reducing aerobic exercise?

The answer is doubt,

1, HIIT may be more suitable for quasi-professionals who have a certain fitness foundation and achieve the same effect in a short time, but it is not suitable for people who have just started fitness and lost weight and have poor physical fitness, so it is difficult to stick to it.

2.HIIT consumes glycogen and protein in a short time, that is, it consumes muscle. How to gain muscle after exercise, the process of gaining muscle and the process of losing fat are contradictory. How to ensure that muscle gain does not increase the fat in the diet is a contradiction in itself.

Conclusion: HIIT is more suitable for people who have a certain foundation in the short term to lose fat quickly, but running is more suitable for long-term maintenance.

In a word, HIIT and aerobic running have different effects, and they have their own specific scope in the applicable population. HIIT consumption effect may be better, but in daily fat-reducing exercise, long-term aerobic exercise-running is recommended.
