Sprint training is the best...I know...I know....lol....seriously

I'm just doing fasted steady state now

@Docd187123
Fat loss isnt dependent on cardio...Yes I understand. Fat loss is dependent on calories in vs. calories out. Fat loss IS effected by strength/cardio.

When the body is expending more energy than consuming, the body's cells rely on stored energy source, the 1st of which is glycogen. When glycogen is nearly depleted the body begins lipolysis, which is the mobilization of fat stores for energy.

When the your body is low on glycogen then your body will have no choice but to burn more fat for energy and this is why you burn more fat when you workout 1st thing in the morning before eating because your body is low on glycogen at that time.

So what evidence says that 40-60 minutes of cardio is detrimental to muscle mass? I'm pretty sure the evidence you might be referring to far exceeds the minimum & maximum I'm suggesting. Isn't that why humans need at least an hour of playtime everyday..

Respectfully

I understand what you are saying. why waste 45 minutes once or twice a day doing cardio? when you can do 20 minutes sprint training and look like a beast.

I always liked sprints. They build muscular legs and fast twitch fibers.

Jogging is SO damn mundane. I hated it even when I was in the corps. Im not at all a natural long distance runner but I was able to do my 5k in under 18 minutes. That took alot of hard work cuz im built like a bull not a deere. Did i mention jogging sucks
