1️⃣ Why Walking Wins for Fat Loss
HIIT burns ~2x calories per minute vs walking
But HIIT requires 24-48hrs recovery (max 2-3 sessions/week)
Walking can be done every single day
For fat loss, total weekly cardio volume matters more than intensity per session
Five 50-minute walks per week is the proven fat loss foundation

2️⃣ Why HIIT Still Matters
Builds VO2 max significantly faster than Zone 2 (17.9% vs 7.9% in 10 weeks per European Journal of Preventive Cardiology study)
VO2 max = #1 predictor of longevity (Mandsager et al., 2018)
Zone 2 still improves VO2 max, but at a much slower rate
HIIT is the fastest tool available for moving this number

3️⃣ If You're Lifting Weights
HIIT and lifting both stress recovery systems the same way
Too much of both = tanks recovery, stalls muscle growth
Keep HIIT to 1-2 sessions per week max
Walking fills the gap—high cardio volume without recovery cost
Fat loss protocol: 5x 50-min walks + 1-2 HIIT sessions

4️⃣ If You're NOT Lifting Weights
More recovery capacity available for HIIT
Can handle 2-3 HIIT sessions per week
Walking is still the foundation for fat loss volume
Fat loss protocol: 5x 50-min walks + 2-3 HIIT sessions
Consider adding lifting—it's the single best tool for body composition
