Is HIIT or cardio better for fat loss? - Day 48

Is HIIT or Zone 2 cardio better for fat loss? Research shows that when calorie expenditure is matched, HIIT and Zone 2 produce similar fat-loss results—the real difference is recovery, consistency, and how well each supports muscle retention. In this episode, you'll learn why body recomposition starts with a calorie deficit and strength training, how HIIT can improve fitness in less time but create more fatigue, and why Zone 2 is often the better choice for women over 35 trying to lose fat while preserving muscle. You'll also discover how to balance strength training, Zone 2, and HIIT throughout the week to maximize results without compromising recovery.

Today's Targets

  1. Schedule your strength training, Zone 2, and optional HIIT sessions for the next seven days, treating each workout like an appointment.
  2. Complete one 30–45 minute Zone 2 cardio session, focusing on staying within your target heart rate range.
  3. Prioritize your strength-training workouts before cardio this week to support muscle growth and body recomposition.
