i see alot of people saying 30:30 for HIIT.
but everyone who does HIIT running (not on a treadmil) the real HIIT, its pretty much impossible to do 30:30, most people aim for 50:10 to 45:15 walk:sprint.
30:30 is supposed to be really good for bike (and some people say treadmil but others say it cant be preformed properly on one).
a lot of people new to HIIT say that 10-15 seconds of sprinting isnt enough but the thing is, its what you make it, if you do it right, putting in 100% effort in the 10-15 seconds after your 10-15 HIIT cycles you will be absolutely stuffed.
regarding the best type of cardio per person, depends alot on the level of the trainee, if your quiet new to cardio LISS is actually the most effective at losing weight.
but once one becomes experienced be careful about the claims you hear LISS making, because when it says maximum weight loss, its talking about muscle wastage as well, while the beauty of HIIT is that it burns something like 90% fat to 10% muscle.
AFAIK it is not recommended to do Fasted HIIT either.
