People our age, shouldn’t be doing high intensity cardio, and especially not HIIT or circuit training, it’s counterproductive and may even contribute to muscle loss and an inflammatory cardiovascular response.
You don’t need cardio to burn fat and gain muscle size. Instead we need to reduce our systemic fatigue, stress and slow the f*ck down and focus on form.
Slow and steady wins the race. Lifting heavy is already enough cardio, making sure that you rest significantly between sets. Making sure that your sets are challenging, but slow on the eccentric, low reps and controlled beautiful form.
If you’re keen to get that shredded cut under 10% body-fat, then you’ll be surprised to know that diet and low level cardio like walking every day is the best, scientifically proven and low stress approach to actually targeting fat loss.
