[QUOTE="DragonBits, post: 122935, member: 18023"] I would disagree that steady state cardio won't burn fat, you still need to expend energy no matter how efficient you become. HOWEVER ... It's not the most time efficient way to get lean. I see a lot of lean people doing steady state cardio, but they spend at least 1-2 hours doing it. If I bike for 2.5 hours going 30 miles, I will lose weight for sure, but that is a lot of time to spend every day or even every other day. And it does involve a sort of HIIT, since I go up and down hills. I wouldn't do the treadmill warmup before weights, i would lift light weights for a couple of reps to warm up those muscles. When I was using a treadmill, I would do a HIIT kind of workout, running as fast as you can say 9-11 mph for 30 seconds and slowing down to 3.5 mph for 2 min, then repeat. That gets my heart rate up to near max during the run time and never returns to baseline. As you get more fit you adjust, you can run longer / faster and rest shorter at a faster pace. BUT be careful, running can be hard on your joints, feet, etc. IMO there is no doubt that the most time efficient way to get lean is some sort of HIIT / Tabata workout, both for cardio and weights. Even my Dr. recommends it, and he has a very tight, lean look. [/QUOTE]
