Detailed explanation-1: -As you may have guessed by now, there is no one winner when it comes the intensity level. Both high-and low-intensity cardio has a place in the fitness world. If your goal is to lose weight, retain muscle and build your oxygen consumption all within a short 20-to-30-minute window, then go for high-intensity cardio.
Detailed explanation-2: -Studies have shown that short bursts of high-intensity interval training can be more effective than 45 minutes of less strenuous exertion.
Detailed explanation-3: -Longer, slower exercise helps build endurance in both your heart and your muscles. Like HIIT, steady-state cardio makes your heart more efficient, getting oxygen to the muscles more quickly.
Detailed explanation-4: -HIIT, or High Intensity Interval Training, involves short bursts with high effort, followed by lower effort rest intervals. LISS, or Low Intensity Steady State, involves consistent effort at a steady pace for an allotted amount of time (the heart rate is usually monitored here to identify effort).
