QuestionWhat burns more calories, 1 hour of weightlifting or 1 hour of cardio
Trick question. They both burn the same number of calories.
No they don'tRequires moar variables, such as heart rate, but it's sort of hard to measure intensity, so i guess USUALLY weightlifting.
Depends on the intensity. But generally, 1 hour of cardio.
Go do some HIIT for 15min, wins over both
>>473979I'm a newfag to /fit/, what is HIIT?Also, doesn't weight lifting have a lot of downtime, therefore less calories burnt?
cardio will burn more in that 1 hour period,but weight lifting should burn more throughout an entire day, because it's anaerobic and raises your metabolism more.
