There are two type of training in terms of intensity you must know, high intensity and low intensity, which also has different goal, and different strategy you need to see, and what's right to choose depending on yourself.
Not only HIIT, but LISS for your training have become something amazing as alternative of the cardio, and both can work well for the weight loss.
So let's try to break down thus you can decide with full confidence about getting the best method first.
The main or obvious thing you can see lies on the intensity, where HIIT can involve high intense and is followed with short recovery period.
And as an exercise method, it has focus more on heavier activity to do in short time as well.
Meanwhile the LISS method relies in lower intensity for training, and can be practiced on longer period. You can include, for example, activity like walking, using bicycle casually, and swimming on consistent speed.
The duration for training can become the huge difference between HIIT and LISS. As expected, you can do HIIT on short time, even half a hour or shorter period. Note that you can do the training session repeatedly.
On the other hand, people will spend more to run LISS training, even one hour. The body will be "optimized" to do training on certain intensity for doing the activity as long as possible.
Now let's see for the aspect in term of calories burning, with the test conducted on HIIT practiced within half a hour compared with running, weight lifting and bicycling as the exercise.
HIIT in this case is able in burning more calories up to 30 percent compared to three other exercise activity mentioned above.
For the impact to see after training to do, the "afterburn", the HIIT method can help you get that effect, which is great for calories burning process.
The effect is better at HIIT compared with LISS. But it can overcome with LISS since you do the training longer, and depending on certain factors, expect for the better result.
Your training goal should also determine about type of training to get first. If you want a method that is best for heart health, for example, HIIT is best for such thing.
Meanwhile you can try LISS for improvement of body's immunity. And you can try to do LISS to lower the muscle fatigue.
Finally HIIT or LISS has its own goal and different approach, and do the best with it by choosing something better for the body.
