How many times a week should someone do HIIT while doing CBL SA for the purposes of body recomposition (not a reduction in scale weight) and what prescription (4:1/2, 4:1, 2:1, etc.)?
One maybe two times a week, I would follow the 4:1 ratio or maybe 2:1. It all depends on the type of HIIT too.
Ok, I was planning on doing track sprints.
Do HIIT if you want the conditioning aspect. HIIT does catabolize muscle tissue a little and depletes glycogen. If you purely want the fat loss benefits of cardio just do incline walking.

HIIT doesn't catabolize muscle. It aids it.I would say HIIT twice a week may help with fat loss, but I really don't think it does too much other than allow you to eat more carbs.

I just re-read the article I like about HIIT and incline walking. I certainly was wrong about the catabolizing woops.
