FitBit: Torn between HiiT or Weights to lose weight fast?

 In today’s time-starved schedule, we want to choose a workout that is fast and effective to hit our goals. Lift weights to lose weight, or hit the HiiT (high intensity interval training) cardio to lose weight?

If you have ample time to plan in your schedule, then do both! If you are stretched in your schedule, then the short answer is HiiT. Let’s take a quick summary on the two distinct exercise disciplines:

High Intensity Interval Training

  • Stronger cardio without caring too much about building size

  • It can help you achieve rapid weigh lost in a short amount of time

Weight training

  • Building mass and visible muscle

  • This also burns fat for you as you gain muscles but may be at a slower but more sustainable speed

The most important thing is to maintain a healthy body composition, nutrition and a healthy mind. Have a good workout!
