HIIT vs. Aerobics: What’s Best for Fat Loss?
We’re back with Episode 5 of The InstructorLive Podcast, and this one’s for anyone trying to lose fat but not sure what type of workout to focus on. It’s a question I’ve been asked many times as a trainer over the years: what’s best for fat loss? HIIT or aerobics?
In this episode, I dive into the benefits of both high-intensity interval Training (HIIT) and aerobic exercise, breaking down how each approach impacts fat burning, metabolism, and your overall fitness journey.
Whether you love fast-paced, sweaty sessions or prefer low-impact movement that builds endurance, this episode will help you make an informed decision.. I hope!

Final Thought
Both HIIT and aerobics can be powerful tools for fat loss. It’s not just about which one is better, but which one works best for you. Consistency, enjoyment, but also recovery are the things that matter the most. Choose the workout you’ll stick with, and let it support your goals, not stress you out, and if you can’t decide, just do both.
