best cardio for most fat loss

[MUSCLENUTANT]

what is the best, most fat burning cardio I can do for fat loss? I currently do 45 minutes on the stairmaster at level 10. Is there something more intense that would burn fat better?

[Back In Black]

Up the intensity. It doesn't matter what machine, whatever burns the most calories in the time you have allotted, be it treadmill, stair master, elliptical, whatever. Just burn, burn, burn.

I would say HEAVY BAG(boxing).

This is an ever lasting question for me too! I hate cardio so when i do it, i want it to be as productive as possible! Still not sure whether the HIIT is best or moderate?! I now switch it up every time. Hope to get some good answers up here

[MUSCLENUTANT]

I like that, a little more my style, with my martial arts background I could make it really good and intense. Thanks!

[MUSCLENUTANT]

I've never done HIIT, but the heavy bag, if you have fighting experience, which I do, could be intense and fun.

That depends on a number of things. There are a number of threads on cardio here, if you want something specific to you I'd suggest you start a new thread, particularly if you are looking at cardio for contest prep. What works best for someone not competing and above 10% bf really doesn't work as well for the other.

Well my bf% is still pretty good at the moment cause i had a contest last sunday. But i want to keep it low! In my prep i went up to 3hrs a day of cardio! Never tried the HIIT. Went very low on carbs so i guess HIIT wouldnt benefit me much or am i wrong on that? But if i can keep my bf in line with lets say 2-3 times a week 20-30 mins HIIT, i would like that better then the boring hours on the treadmill

The fat burning effect of cardio comes from keeping your heart rate in a fat burning zone. A person's current body fat level doesn't make the deciding factor in how a particular cardio routine will increase that heart rate.

Also i see people who love the results from fasted morning cardio and others hating it.. I believe there are many different approaches, maybe thats why i havent found a solid answer on whats best...

That can be true, but stepping up the pass will result in more calories burned so more fatloss??

You need to not think this way. You need to think about burning calories and ignoring the almost mythical fat burning zone. If done right (and you would need to be fasted otherwise its almost pure nonsense) you can burn a higher % of your calories from fat but you would burn a lot less calories overall because there is barely any intensity. You need to focus on burning calories, as many as you can.

Allright np mate

[MUSCLENUTANT]

yes, and persons bf % doesn't make a difference in how much calories are burned, the amount of intensity and the person's performance doing it determines that. a persons bf, does not determine how intensely they can perform.

Nobody is arguing with this. But, the heavier you are the more calories you burn, whether that weight is from fat or muscle. As you lose weight you will burn less calories for the same perceived effort. However, the more muscle you have then the more calories you will burn when at rest.

In short, just burn as many calories as you can in the time allotted.

[MUSCLENUTANT]

Right.Which is what I was doing and now plan to increase intensity and change it up.

[thehor]

to me nothing has been more intense than jump rope for a long period of time.

[MUSCLENUTANT]

too monotonous. I like the heavy bag idea.

[MACKATTACK]

HIIT hands down........

[tigerspawn]

Best cardio is cardio that you enjoy. If it isn’t enjoyable you will dread doing it and will have hard time sticking to it. I can’t stand doing any cardio while facing a wall so I don’t do it. I love running so I do it every day. When my son was younger I would stick him in the jogging stroller and go for two mile run. Now I take my son and dog on hikes. When my son gets tired I stick him in cart and continue my hike.

HIIT on a bag is really good.....also speed jump roping....youll get a lot if different answers because every is differrent....no matter what u do....just get it done right....half as*ed effort gets u half as*sed results
