[quote=Anonymous]If you’re exercising to lose weight, you are much less likely to stick with an exercise program because weight loss is a long slog. You need to look at the immediate reward of exercise: feeling good! Don’t exercise to the point of feeling like death. It makes exercise unfun and from a training perspective is physically counterproductive. The best endurance-increasing workout program is 20% of your workouts being at, like 80% of your max heart rate and 80% of your workouts at 50% of max. Workouts at 50% of max are actually hard because it doesn’t feel like I’m doing anything! But after doing this my endurance has increased a lot. Don’t try to do HIIT, only really good athletes can actually do it and without injury. Basic high-intensity workouts are definitely good, but not as efficient by themselves as incorporating those low-intensity workouts if you are looking for increased insurance. [/quote]
