I was just going to say the same thing. The diets were closely monitored??? How in the hell do you gain fat doing long state cardio? I can't believe it. I can definitely see (and 100% completely believe) that HIIT burns more fat than steady state, that's been proven to me by my own personal experience, but I can't see the steady state group
gaining fat!
They probably are burning off some muscle but that's not going to PUT FAT ON.
AmyPie- I seriously, seriously doubt that a steady state session once or twice a week is going to do you any harm. Keep the intensity at a medium level. Lisa~ even suggested to me to add a session of it in order to up my fat loss but I'm scared shitless to lose muscle.
Ninja - maybe if you sprint part of the distance between class and then walk real slow and then sprint, etc. ????? :p:p
