[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP again - I could try to see if I can add more cardio too and go for a short run on days I don't do strength/HIIT. I work a desk job and worry about not being active enough. However, it's also hard to eek out the time to work out (take turns with my DH who likes to go for a bike ride). Just gotta push myself and mornings would be easiest before the kids are up, but have been exhausted (baby sleeps well, but seasonal allergies have been kicking my butt lately)[/quote]

Being in the habit of working out gives you more energy to work out. Weird but true.

[b]But even if you gave up workouts entirely, you could still lose just by tightening your calories.[/b] [/quote]

I would not add in more exercise or cardio. Accurately track calories and you will lose. [/quote]

But OP should still get an HR monitor and see how “H” that supposedly HIIT really is. My mom got one and found out she was never even hitting cardio zone. [/quote]

I don't think that really matters. I did orangetheory for 2 years, wore the HR monitor/knew I was in "the zone", burned a lot of calories based on the monitor and readout. Lost some weight, but not much over those 2 yrs, and I had plenty to lose, also thought I was eating pretty healthy. Still I didn't really start to lose until I dialed in my nutrition. I always say not to worry about calories burned during exercise because to lose you shouldn't be eating back those calories.[/quote]

Because you were actually getting good workouts you were probably hungrier and eating back your burn. As long as OP is ALSO carefully monitoring calories cardio will help. [/quote]

Not saying cardio doesn't help, but I don't think it is necessary to track your HR to get an effective workout or to lose weight. I also think you know if you are working hard or not, you don't need a HR monitor to tell you that.[/quote]
