>>45802Fellow poster, I ask you to chill a bit? Perhaps its a cultural barrier because your post does read as rude. I'm just sharing my opinion, on top of yours. Why go straight to the idea that we're fighting and one of us must win a discussion? I conceded to most of what you were saying and gave further pointers. Discussion can be productive and lead to a deeper understanding, which is why I ask you to please point to my errors of thinking, it's not about winning….
As I said, low intensity cardio is easier to maintain for long periods of time than high intensity cardio. Which means you can do more and burn more calories total. Not everyone can run for 30 minutes, but many can walk for a full hour. This is what I meant. Besides the point that high intensity cardio burns more carb storages and can lead to increased cravings for the same amount of calories burnt. I think we both agree that diet and calorie restriction is more important than burning calories by cardio.
>your body needs to spend more energy to maintain your muscles active as opposed to being atrophied and spending much less THROUGHOUT THE DAY, not during exercise, just train whatever, it'll help to lose weight.The calorie expenditure change due to increased muscle mass is relatively small. Maybe you didn't mean that, I couldn't parse your comment to be honest. I'm guessing at what it's saying.
>pay attention to how I specifically said planks don't make you gain more strengthFair enough, because in another part you did say they aren't good for strength. However, you also said this:
<otherwise planks are great, it's the main exercise to build bracing strengthI hope you see why I responded in such a manner.
