Low impact versus high impact cardio
so for the last few days myself and a handful of trainers on facebook have been having a debate
on what’s better for fat loss in the long run. Most of the trainers including myself strongly believe in the higher
intensity the work out the more calories and fat you will burn after the work out is long over. some very very old school trainers
believe that low impact cardio will keep more fat off consistently. here’s the deal, it’s all about the after burn. If you go through a pretty intense 30 minute cardio session you will keep burning calories up to 12 hours after the work out is over. same goes for a more intense resistance work out but the difference is you’ll be burning up to 48 hours later. low impact cardio is great but as a filler. it’s a great way to give your body a rest from the high impact all week but consistently doing one type of work out in the long
run will not get you results.
