Guaranteed fat loss with (HIIT)

I have recently become a big fan of HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training). (HIIT) is preformed by alternating between high and low intensity exercises or between high intensity exercise and a short period of rest. (E.g. Sprinting all out for 10-20sec / resting for 1min / repeat depending on fitness levels & goals.) To obtain the greatest benefits of HIIT, it is essential to GO HARD! When you approach +80 % of VO2max (Maximal oxygen consumption) a number of hormones are released e.g. Testosterone, GH, epinephrine etc. Which effect body composition and anabolism and most of all blitz body fat.

Benefits of HIIT:
- Fat loss
- Muscle sparing & potentially muscle growth
- Shorter workouts (compressed)
- Strengthens cardiovascular system
- Endurance
- Great for speeding metabolism (Fat burning after the workout is over)
- Fast fibre recruitment (Better-body composition than regular cardio)
- Less pounding on joints

When:
- Best preformed apart from weight training but if you are fixed for time, post workout is favourable.

How often:
- 3 or at most 4 times per week.

Some great HIIT ideas:
- Sprinting up stairs
- Box jumps
- Sled pulls
- Car pushes
- Sprints (flat or hill)
- Stationary bike

Example of a HIIT workout:
- 8-10sets / 15-20sec sprints / 60sec rest between each set
