Analyzing two popular methods of cardio exercise HIIT and LIIT

The 5-5-5 Protocol is a LIIT workout that consists of 5 rounds of 5 repetitions, with a 30-second rest period between each round. Here’s an example of the workout:

1. Start with a 5-minute warm-up of light cardio exercise (e.g., jogging in place, jumping jacks, or high knees).

2. Perform 5 burpees at a comfortable pace, followed by a 30-second rest period.

3. Repeat the burpee exercise and rest cycle for a total of 5 rounds.

4. End with a 5-minute cool-down of light cardio exercise (e.g., walking or stretching).

Note that this is just one example of a LIIT protocol involving burpees, so you can easily spot the difference between HIIT and LIIT protocols.

There are many different variations that can be used, depending on your fitness level, goals, and preferences. The key is to maintain a low-to-moderate intensity throughout the workout and focus on proper form and technique. This protocol can also be combined with other low-impact exercises, such as push-ups, squats, or lunges, to create a full-body workout.
