Hard interval training is better at developing cardiovascular fitness and burns more calories. I only do it once or twice per week however because you need to proper rest after that. Walking and light runs burn less calories but they’re great because you can do them on rest days and they help with muscle recuperation and burn fat calories without tiring you out so much. The ideal is to to BOTH. 1-2 hard cardio days per week, and then walk on other easy days. You’ll get FRIGGIN’ LEAN doing that!

Southstar, you sound like you know what you’re doing. You’re asking the right questions. Just asking these specific questions tell’s me or anyone who’s well versed, that you’re in the right place. Yeah I used to stand in line at GNC, protein powders, protein bars..the whole bit. I keep VERY detailed journals of my cardio and strength training going back over 11 years now. Tried ALL sorts of daily protein intake levels. There has been…NO difference is strength or muscle gain related to that.

I’m not going to sugar coat the difficulty of Interval Training. They’re short, but let me tell you SouthStar…they’re tough; both mentally and physically. I trains your body not only for anaerobic power, but trains your system to recuperate in the short rest periods BETWEEN the intervals as fast and an much as it can. You may only be on that stationary bike or treadmill for 25 minutes, but it’s like a 25 minute fight in the ring. Try them out and let me know how it goes.

Muscle gain is IRON related, training related, not supplement related. They’re related to how much guts you have in the gym to try heavier weight and increase intensity of sets. If you’re training Volume, then it’s also related to shortening rest times between sets and performing good reps. That’s where the game is won. Put hard intense lifting together with hard interval training and THAT is where it makes the difference. Get good rest and ” some” protein in your diet and that’s the recipe.
