Hot take incoming: hiit vs liss cardio on glp-1.

I know this is controversial here but I think the conventional wisdom on this topic might be overly simplistic. Before you grab your pitchforks, hear me out.

My argument is based on conversations with my provider who has a different perspective.

Change my mind. Seriously — I want to be wrong about this if I am.

To answer the question about HIIT vs LISS cardio on GLP-1 looking for input — in my experience this comes down to a few key factors.

I have been dealing with this for almost 2 years now, and what I have found is that individual responses really do vary. That said, the general consensus on HIIT vs LISS cardio on GLP-1 seems solid.

What specifically worked for me: combining medication with structured exercise. I would suggest mark_tokyo try the same approach and reporting back.

anders_CPH nailed it. Building on that — HIIT vs LISS cardio on GLP-1 is something I discuss with my PCP regularly, and their clinical perspective aligns with what anders_CPH described.

One thing I would add: the first few weeks are not representative of long-term results.

Clinical perspective on HIIT vs LISS cardio on GLP-1 looking:

I have managed ~150 patients on GLP-1 therapy and this topic comes up frequently. What the data shows — and what I see in practice — is that proper titration prevents most adverse events.

For this specific question, I would recommend: reviewing the relevant clinical guidelines.
