HITT is great, the principle is not the same, but whatever works for you, then do it.
I've been a personal trainer and training people for over 15 years and I don't like telling people what to do, I just get them where they want to be.
As of right this minute, my b/f is 3.5% and will be less come the Master's Nationals in Pittsburgh  In either event, cutting fat's not easy and I sure don't play games doing it. |
I'm 22, and that was the target hear rate I came up with based on your formula.
Based on the explanations from some other guys who posted, HIIT seems more ideal for me.
3.5% b/f is very impressive, props on that. I sure as hell can't say my b/f is that low, and I most likely won't get it that low. but I'm not competing, just tryin to look good on the beach or at the pool.
but yeah... I just started my cutting about a week ago, and it seems to be working so far. besides I hate cardio... it's boring as hell and after 15-20 minutes I've had enough of it, so HIIT is a much better option for me.
but obviously the other method works for you, so do what do.
