HIIT vs. steady state cardio for weight loss

Web Admin 0 201 Article rating: No rating

Comparing HIIT and steady state cardio if weight loss is your goal.

Hi friends! How are ya? I hope you’re having a lovely morning so far! We’re still on a little trip – sharing lots of details on IG stories! – but I had some posts ready to go while I’m gone. Today, I wanted to talk about two extremely popular cardio strategies and how they compare, especially if weight loss if your goal.

For years, cardio has been a go-to solution for cardiovascular health, weight management, performance and endurance training. HIIT has also surged in popularity in the past decade and is here to stay. Sometimes there’s confusion about which type of cardio you should choose in your routine, so today, I’m breaking it all down in this post!

HIIT vs. steady state cardio for weight loss

HIIT: High-Intensity Interval Training

HIIT is like a fiery explosion of energy that revs up your metabolism and torches calories long after your workout is over. By alternating intense bursts of exercise with short recovery periods, you push your body to its limits and experience the often-touted “afterburn effect.” HIIT can increase the size and density of mitochondria, which are like the fat-burning little powerhouses in our cells.

To get the body back to homeostasis, it has to bring all pre-exercise factors back to baseline, including decreasing tissue temperature and heart rate. Your body continues to burn calories at an accelerated rate for hours post-workout.

Benefits of HIIT:

Time efficient: HIIT workouts are quick and SWEATY, which makes them ideal for busy individuals. It offers a tremendous calorie burn and fat loss potential due to its intense nature and the post-workout EPOC (oxygen consumption post exercises).

Cardiovascular benefits:  HIIT also helps improve cardiovascular fitness by challenging your heart and lungs, resulting in enhanced endurance and stamina.

Performance benefits of HIIT: HIIT can also improve fitness performance, including power and strength.

Another advantage is its muscle-preserving quality, as HIIT workouts can stimulate muscle growth while targeting fat stores. Plus, HIIT can be customized to any fitness level, with modifications and variations available for beginners to advanced athletes. Incorporating HIIT into your fitness routine can rev up your metabolism, boost your mood through endorphin release, and provide a fun and challenging workout experience that keeps you motivated and engaged.

Please remember that I’m not a doctor and am simply sharing my experience using these products. 

Hi hi! How are you? I hope you’re having a lovely day! We’re still off on our trip, but in the meantime, I wanted to share more about the EquiLife Para Support Protocol since I’m almost a month into the two-month program. I’ve been learning more about the implications of parasites and their prevalence in our lives, and I knew it was something I wanted to do. I had some symptoms that I wanted to see if I could resolve and have been pleasantly surprised by my experience so far.

My experience with the EquiLife Para Support Protocol so far

I’ve heard it said that, “If you have a pulse, you have a parasite,” and then can affect humans in various ways. It’s interesting that they’re so common – an estimated   but aren’t commonly treated or addressed in Western medicine.

Here are some common symptoms that may be due to parasites:

Digestive Issues:

Persistent diarrhea, constipation, bloating, gas, abdominal pain, and frequent nausea can be signs of a parasitic infection in the gastrointestinal tract.

Unexplained Weight Loss:

Sudden and unexplained weight loss, despite a normal or increased appetite, could be a symptom of certain parasites that interfere with nutrient absorption.

Fatigue and Weakness:

Feeling constantly tired, fatigued, and lacking energy, even after sufficient rest, may be a result of parasitic infections that disrupt nutrient absorption.

Skin Problems:

Itchy skin, rashes, eczema, hives, or the sensation of something crawling on the skin are possible indicators of parasitic involvement.

Changes in Bowel Movements:

Stool abnormalities such as greasy or oily consistency, presence of mucus or blood, and the appearance of worms or their eggs in the stool

Mental and Emotional Disturbances:

Parasitic infections can affect mental well-being, leading to symptoms such as anxiety, irritability, mood swings, and cognitive difficulties.

Joint and Muscle Pain:

Some parasitic infections can cause muscle aches, joint pain, and inflammation, resembling symptoms of arthritis.

Allergic Reactions:

Parasites can trigger immune responses, resulting in allergic reactions like itching, hives, or asthma-like symptoms.

Sleep Disturbances:

Insomnia, disturbed sleep patterns, or restless sleep may occur due to the body’s response to parasitic activity

It’s important to remember that these symptoms can be cause

Gut Health for Women: Why it Matters and How to Improve it

Web Admin 0 222 Article rating: No rating

Please keep in mind that today’s post is for information purposes and is not medical information. If you have questions about improving your gut health, talk to your health care provider. 

Today I want to talk about something that may not be the most glamorous topic, but it’s incredibly important: gut health. As women, we often put a lot of emphasis on our performance, energy levels, and what we put into our bodies to look and feel our best. But what about what’s going on inside? Our gut health plays a crucial role in our overall health and wellbeing, from our digestion and immune system to our mental health.

So, why is gut health so important?

Our gut is home to trillions of bacteria, both good and bad. When our gut is in balance, meaning there’s more good bacteria than bad, it helps keep our immune system strong, aids in digestion and absorption of nutrients, and even produces neurotransmitters that affect our mood and cognitive function. On the flip side, when our gut is out of balance, it can lead to a host of problems such as bloating, constipation, diarrhea, fatigue, and even depression and anxiety.

Now, the good news is that we can improve our gut health through a few simple lifestyle changes.

*Please note that this is not medical advice and simply intended for informational purposes. Always consult your doctor or health care professional before making any fitness or nutrition changes.*

Gut Health for Women: Why it Matters and How to Improve it

Here are some tips:

Eat a diet rich in fiber:

Fiber feeds the good bacteria in our gut and helps keep things moving smoothly. Aim for at least 25-30 grams of fiber per day from sources such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes. A helpful strategy: track your fiber! I like Chronometer and My Fitness Pal.

Incorporate probiotic-rich foods:

Probiotics are live bacteria that can help boost the good bacteria in our gut. Foods such as yogurt, kefir, kombucha, tempeh, sauerkraut, and kimchi are all sources of probiotics.

Avoid processed and sugary foods:

These types of foods can feed the bad bacteria in our gut and lead to inflammation and other issues. When you do have these foods, enjoy them, and move on with your life. I just don’t recommend making them the staple or focus in an everyday diet.

Manage stress:

Chronic stress can negatively impact our gut health, so finding ways to manage stress such as meditation, yoga, or simply taking a walk in nature can be incredibly beneficial.

Consider supplements:

In some cases, supplements such as probiotics or digestive enzymes may be helpful in improving gut health. I love the Sakara probiotics! (My code is XOGINAH for 20% off)
