HIIT vrs Tabata work outs, Which is one is more effective?

[kitty71]

According to science, Fitness trainers , etc? Or both are effective? Do both also help in body muscle definition or not? I heard taht HIIT and Tabata are more effective when it comes to cardio because you loose more fat and build more muscle in short amount of time, when it comes to short workouts with intensity rather than long work outs who are not that effective.

If a person wants to develop a little of muscle, which in this case would be better or both still?

Your thoughts?

No normal post COVID-19 people want or will do that workout. I can get 20 minutes of HIIT with 30sec sprint on elliptical rest 1.5 minutes, 30 sec sprint elliptical rest 1.5 over twenty minutes 3x week and lose 16 plus lbs in one month.-Required diet change and other exercise needed too.

HIIT, usually people don't go 100% for the Tabata work out. That is key for Tabata, when exercising you are doing it 100% for the time interval.
