Ask our expert: HIIT vs. Long-Distance Running






Yes. HIIT not only aids in shedding post-pregnancy pounds, studies show it’s also more effective for reducing subcutaneous body fat than long, slow cardio sessions. Adrenaline mobilizes fat under the skin, and higher-intensity exercise produces more adrenaline.


While I can’t make specific recommendations without knowing your age, fitness level, and experience, as a guideline, I suggest working at 65–85% of your max heart rate. For a 32-year-old woman, this means keeping your heart rate at 122 beats per minute during recovery intervals, and 159 bpm during intensity intervals.
