You change your workouts in prrs every week but is it a good idea for doing this for your cardio after your weight training
power week : 30 min mid hart rate
rep range week : hiit
shock week : 30 min low hart rate
I wondering if this is also interesting for changing this???

I've always found the best cardio is the cardio I'll actually do.

I see in your log 20 min or 30 min treadmill with what heartrate

I've never been a sprinter- I'm a distance guy... so I hate intervals and sprints... so I usually keep the heartrate more in the fat burning range. When I'm needing to do more cardio I set the treadmill at a steep angle and go longer... and then finally add it to mornings, fasted...
Cardio has been the least consistent part of my workout. I need to be better about pushing it.
There's nothing wrong with mixing it up as you suggest- but you'll find 1000 opinions on 1000 ways that are best.

thanks for the feedback fit.
I think it is not good to do after every workout 30 min intensive cardio (75% of Maxim hart rate)
I'm going to start with cardio in the fat burning range.
To bad there's no more feedback of the other guru's

I think it's GREAT to change up your cardio, however I would do it day to day depending on your split and when legs are.
I was doing HIIT on Saturdays, Sundays, & Thursdays for a while during prep and the other days were LISS. During HIIT I would do about 15-20 minutes of HIIT and follow it with LISS. When I do LISS though I keep my HR around 130-140 BPM.
I think mixing it is the best way to keep the body burning fat and the metabolism revved up.

I agree they say 10-20 minutes HIT cardio raises the secretion of hormones known to stimulate the breakdown of fat epinephrine and norepinephrine. Follow it with 30-40 minutes of moderate intensity and tour burning pure fat! Another thing I'm trying and like it so far is active rest in between sets especially on power week where I get on a stationary bike and do lo intensity cardio 30-40% of your v02max. I've noticed improvements on my lifts and recovery as well has any one else tried this? |

Do you do the 10-20 mins HIIT followed by LSD cardio only pre contest or year round.
I have doing LSD cardio fasted in the AM for quite a few mths while gaining lean mass. Seems to do the job. Plus it's enjoyable.

I finally solved my loathing of cardio. I got this little machine that is like a stepper/elliptical for your lower body, fits anywhere in the house it's only about 40 lbs, you hold hand weights while you're on it, park it in front of the television, I turn the knob up to the highest resistance, and go for it. OWWWWWW yeah it works!

Plus it's enjoyable. Notice I said HIT not HIIT meaning just a quick 10 minute high intensity session followed by a LSD session te HIIT will probably work but the study specifically said HIT. I use it year round but I only do it once or 2 a week off season maybe 3 if I have a busy eating schedule. Then I'll do one HIIT session away fom my leg day |

Thx Zack.
LSD stands for long slow duration rantorcha. Yet to try the other LSD and cardio, I'll keep you posted if I do. Haha.
