Low-intensity steady-state cardio is continuous aerobic work performed at an easy, stable effort.
Why LISS matters
LISS supports aerobic fitness and energy expenditure with relatively manageable fatigue.
A practical example
Walking briskly or cycling comfortably for 30 to 45 minutes.
Common mistake
Allowing an easy session to drift into a hard effort that disrupts recovery.
Keep the context in mind.
Training and nutrition terms describe general principles. The right exercise, intensity or food target still depends on your experience, health, goals and schedule.
Personalised coaching
Apply the principle to your own training.
A definition is useful, but your programme still needs to match your experience, schedule, recovery and goals.
