Better for shredding.

[Jon Stark]

1. 45 mins on elliptical. 2. Interval jogging on tread mill EG run at 7.5 for a minute for 1 walk for 2 for 45 mins. 3. A split of both.

This is better for what again?

Shredding extra sharp cheddar? Mozzarella? Monterey Jack?

HIIT is better for fat burning than steady state cardio. Both have benefits, but HIIT is better for fat burning.

 

[DrBdan]

Shredding?



serious answer: calorie control.

 

[ROcknrollracing]

Hiit is superior for sure but fasted liss can work as well

 

[ironwolf]

Eat less.

[Chad R. Thundercock]

Someday, I want to be able to shred like Yngwie Malmsteen or Joe Satriani.

Well. Time to step onto the elliptical... Baby steps.

Burning more calories than you take in is best for fat burning.

[j123]

Caloric control as others have stated is the way to go.
I've cut before successfully without incorporating cardio. It was pure PPL 6 days a week, at the time. No cardio, just lifting.

Why is that? Because of greater EPOC? I would think aerobic exercise would be more effective at burning fat than anaerobic exercise(assuming total kcal expenditure being equal).

 

[Tosa]

As intensity of exercise increases, the proportion of energy derived from fat decreases, and the proportion from carbohydrate increases. However, where the energy comes from during an exercise session doesn't affect net energy balance, only total calories burned does that.

The effects of EPOC mean that, given a limited amount of time, HIIT can lead to greater total caloric expenditure. However, someone is more able to increase the amount of moderate intensity exercise they do, and recover, than increase the amount of high intensity exercise they do, and recover.

 

[Badger67]

Also, during aerobic exercise like steady state your body also adapts to the stimulus quite quickly over the sessions; you become more efficient with less fat loss during the bout of exercise. Both are tools, use them properly. EPOC under the right conditions can be prolonged for quite a few hours after exercise to replace the oxygen debt.

 

[Roca]

Stop eating food until you're adequately shredded

 

[Midnighter]

Eat less.

Have you lost your goddamn mind?

Dammit. I wanted to say something along these lines.

 

[Flash_Monsta]

If you want smack rat abs, jab heroin.

But how do we feel about Sabbath ?

Easy mode?!
1. 1-2 days per week of powerlifting or general weightlifting
2. Calisthenics 1-2 days per week
3. 1 long run (30+ minutes) every 7-10 days
4. 2 days per week of high-intensity cardio (HIIT, sprints in sets of 100m, 200m, or 400m)
5. Balanced diet.

If you're out of shape, better to start walking than jogging right away, weightlifting with just the bar to focus on technique, and do pyramids with calisthenics.
