I love LISS day, I look forward to 20-45 minutes of incline walking. I set speed to 3.3-3.5 and incline 10. This workout feels amazing!

LISS

CARDIO

40 minutes

Feel free to do any form of Steady State Cardio you’d like here. Light jog, Biking, walking, incline walking, stairmaster or a mix of all of them.

My preference right now: I love the stair mater, I find most of my LISS days in the gym is on the stair master and if home I love my Bike.

The How: Focus on keeping a steady and continuous effort at a fixed intensity. Key word FIXED! Find that speed you can maintain. Enjoy a show, a podcast or maybe a chat with a girlfriend.

The Why:
1) LISS is shown to directly use a greater percentage of calories from fat rather than glycogen.

2) Provides active recovery to help recovery from resistance training

3) Less taxing on the CNS and muscular system

4) Easier on joints, ligaments and tendons
