    I experienced the excess glucose in my bloodstream when I was doing track and field as sprinter the last few years. We didn't have a good and knowledgeable coach, and he emphasized conditioning over strength and recovery. It was intense, grueling HIIT training every other day including meets every weekend. I would get about 5 hours of sleep everyday because of school and homework. When I woke up, my saliva would just taste sweet, I started to gain belly fat despite the amount of calories I thought I was burning. My times and performance also got worse. Point is, recovery and sleep is the most important thing you can do for yourself when you're doing a lot of HIIT. Don't overtrain.

    I really like and totally agree with your final recommendation that keeps LISS on the recovery day and does HIIT on the weight training day. This absolutely make sense.

    this video helped a lot, i used to be a cross country runner but almost entirely gave up cardio in exchange for weightlifting. when i heard about HIIT, i said okay i can finally do cardio again and use it as a recovery day without wasting time or losing muscle. turns out, i was actually preventing recovery (especially manifested in sore legs and knees). thanks to thomas, I'm back on the correct path

    The best thing I've found for fat loss is frequent walking. Not because it burns alot of fat, it doesn't... but because of the exercise induced anorexia. It also contributes some to cardiovascular fitness and stress reduction, and it's very sustainable.
    Another exercise I like is an elliptical or exercise bike at low intensity, for similar reasons. However, bikes or ellipticals are even lower impact than walking.

    Thomas,
    Thank you for taking the time to break this down. I usually program LISS as my rest days in the form of hiking or rucking for time or distance. I am a firm believer in constantly varied training is key to most people's training goals and mixing it all up helps reduce the risk of the body finding homeostasis.

  • @proudtobeautistic

  • @useraccount2507
    @useraccount2507 2 года назад

    This guy is something else. I came across one of your other videos a few weeks back.. I was thinking "he's dragging on a little" but I continued listening. You were covering a topic that hundreds of fitness RUclipsrs talk about BUT.. then you included some intricate information that literally NO OTHER fitness individual or fitness expert covered, anywhere I'd checked.
    At that moment I was like.. "Okay, this guy is good". Totally forgot to subscribe, but then I searched for a HIIT vs LISS video today. Watched a fitness expert discuss it with references from peer-reviewed research papers, combined with common sense, practicality, examples etc. Great. That's the type of 360-perspective knowledge I like to take in. But then I thought "Hey, okay.. it primarily comes down to whatever time efficiency is preferred. But, there must be more to it".
    So I searched again and came across your video and thought "Hey, I remember this dude. His last video gave some really clear and intricate information, that no other 'fitness expert' seemed to provide. Let me watch".
    And once again, the extra information you've given plus the clear and concise way you put it forth (i.e. science-based, plus practical, plus unbiased) literally sparked my mind.. Again.
    Anyway, this is a long-ass comment lol but had to let you know because your videos seem to be a gem amongst bricks. I've remembered to subscribe this time. Keep doing what you do, and I wish you every success.

I'm forever recommending them to people.. especially the fasting ones, because people see how much weight I'm losing with IF and when they ask me about it, I tell them to look up Thomas DeLauer on RUclips, everything I know about fasting I learned from him lol. Seriously though, THANK YOU.

  • @skyejacques
    @skyejacques 3 года назад

    Thank you so much, Thomas. This was so essential for me, as I can't access individualised personal training atm.
    I've been combining my resistance and weight training with cardio and HIIT with the treadmill because of other fitness videos.
    Today, now I learned they need to be done on separate days if possible (except if I'm running for the bus after or before my workout). As a beginner to training after recovering from mental health issues which means I didn't exercise much, my LISS days are the training days and full rest or some foam rolling is on the recovery days for now.
    Hopefully when I build stamina and strength, I can do the LISS and HIIT on alternate days every once in a while.
    HIIT is good for heart health, which is the only reason I'd do it

    @Seda1979 6 лет назад

    Excellent breakdown TD....I agree...But I do a mix bag of both. I don't do pure HIIT or LISS.... I do what I call a progressive overload with my cardio. I use the HIIT style scheme but I start at a lower intensity (not low) just lower than traditional HIIT, and with each "run interval" i progressively get faster and faster but never all out "balls to the wall". I find that after I do that, i get all the caloric burn i was looking for without feeling totally "smoked'. So in the end it's like a hybrid LISS/HIIT where I progressively get faster but usually topping out at 80% of my MHR. Having said that I only do this 2x a week and never combined with weight training other than a few ab exercises before hand. I also try and do this in a fasted state. And since I'm mainly using fat as a fuel source while doing this type of cardio, I don't get burned out, or light headed while doing this exercise. So for ME it's a win/win. The main thing is to stay hydrated, because you will sweat a lot while doing this type of running.

    I enjoy HIIT the most (I'm a runner) but the problem is that if you're doing hill sprints or something else that really burns you out, you get super exhausted afterwards. I'm not sure why but I can do a long run (8+ miles) and feel less wiped out than doing less than half that distance if it's HIIT. One good thing about HIIT is that you can use it to increase your speed since it's essentially speed work. What I try to do now is a mix of both HIIT and LISS. One super long run one day per week and 2 days of what I consider "moderate" HIIT.

In those I felt like I had more stamina but less strength as I also went for jogs and did a bit of cardio. I think I'll look into introducing those 30 min runs on the treadmill again but also switching it up with going on a rowing machine etc on a recovery day a LISS or even MISS workout! Thanks for the idea!

    • @SaintlySaavy
      @SaintlySaavy Год назад

      I agree with you. LISS is best to drop weight because it offers consistency/momentum, doesn’t increase appetite or cortisol.

    So after perusing some of the comments below, I see that LISS works really well in a fasted state. Would love to hear thoughts on LISS vs HIIT for different body types. ie. endomorph (me), ectomorph (not me), and mesomorph (not me). My body responds really well to a low carb / keto-Ish nutrition plan. What does HIIT tap into for energy if there aren’t any carbs available?
