What type of cardio?

[BOOEY]

What type of cardio do you use during cutting season?

I think HIIT is the way to go.

best cardio is the one you'll do and do consistently..........they are ALL realitvely the same.........find one you can mustar through daily, and you're set.

Agreed.

I definitely disagree with this.

I definetly agree here as well. Cardio doesn't do much of anything, if you get fed up with it, and quit after a few weeks.

For me...HIIT cardio on an elliptical is the way to go.

By that rationale, weightlifting and cardio are basically the same thing, since they both burn cals.

If some work in less time and more efficiently, aren't those the things you would want to do? I think that's what the original post was looking for...

There are major differences between intense interval training (less catabolic) and long, slow cardio (more catabolic). If all you want to do is lose WEIGHT, they're both fine. If you want to lose FAT, you should stick to HIIT, IMO.

So, HIIT is the best way to go with losing bodyfat?

I also prefer HIIT. To be more specific, short all-out sprints for 15-20 minutes.
