Why is it better to do 30 pushups in a row, than to do 1 pushup per minute for 30 minutes, and so on?
In: 45
Because the first is HIIT and the second is moderate exercise.
High intensity exercise like doing the 30 push-ups in a row are scientifically proven to have more benefits on your lung capacity, cardiovascular health, blood sugar, and blood pressure, rather than moderate exercise of one push-up per minute.
If your goal is to be healthy, either is fine. But if you are in a situation where you just cannot seem to lose weight, or, you are on a plateau of muscle building, then you would want to go for the high intensity options to try to accomplish that breakthrough. It’s far more important that you don’t hurt yourself rather than cramming more push-ups into the span of 30 minutes.
