HIIT<\/a> (high-intensity interval training) has been the most buzzed-about sweat method for a while, but there's a new approach gaining momentum: LISS, or low-intensity, steady-state cardio. OK, it's not really new (hello, elliptical<\/a>!). So why the sudden spotlight?<\/p>\n "People are burned out; they're fed up with always pushing to their limits," explains Joe Holder, a Nike running and training coach and a performance training at S10 in New York City. "LISS is a less intense alternative that allows you to decompress while offering full health perks."<\/p>\n You don't need to pick one or the other, adds Anna Victoria, a certified NASM trainer and creator of the Fit Body Guide regimen: "It's about alternating between the two and taking advantage of the fat-burn benefits of all heart-rate training zones," she says.<\/p>\n RELATED<\/strong>: This Is the Best HIIT Workout, According to Science<\/a><\/p>\n Here's the essential info on both practices:<\/p>\n What it is:<\/strong> Cardio performed at a low to moderate intensity—50 to 65 percent of your max heart rate<\/a>—for a minimum of 45 minutes. Think jogging, swimming, biking to work, or going for a brisk walk.<\/p>\n Benefits:<\/strong> The relaxed pace of this training method is easier on the joints, helps lower your resting heart rate, and is a great stepping stone for those looking to increase their intensity.<\/p>\n The downsides:<\/strong> Not only is it time-consuming, but as your body adapts, you'll have to up your exercise time to continue to see changes. And it won't boost your muscle mass or strength.<\/p>\n Burn potential: <\/strong>A 150-pound woman can expect to crush about 350 calories in 45 minutes.<\/p>\n LISS<\/strong> <\/h3>\n
