LISS3s

LISS3s, or Low Intensity Steady State training, is a form of cardiovascular exercise performed at a submaximal intensity for an extended duration. Unlike High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT), LISS focuses on maintaining a consistent, moderate heart rate, typically between 60-70% of one's maximum heart rate. This can be achieved through activities such as brisk walking, cycling, swimming, or jogging.

The primary benefit of LISS training lies in its ability to promote fat oxidation. By exercising at a lower intensity for a longer period, the body is more inclined to utilize fat as its primary energy source. This makes it an effective tool for fat loss and improving cardiovascular health without placing excessive stress on the body.

LISS is also generally considered more accessible and sustainable for a wider range of individuals, including beginners and those recovering from injuries, due to its lower impact and reduced risk of overtraining. It can also contribute to improved endurance and recovery. While it may not burn as many calories in a shorter timeframe as HIIT, its consistent application can lead to significant improvements in body composition and overall fitness over time.
