High Intensity Interval Training: A New Frontier in Fat Loss by Nathan Latviatis

fatigued. You’re lactic acid threshold is how fast your body can remove the lactic acid in your muscles. When your body

can remove lactic acid more efficiently, then you can work the muscles at a higher intensity for a longer period of time before

they become fatigued.

--Shorter Workouts

I don’t know about you, but I definitely would rather crank it up a notch and exercise for 4-8 minutes in comparison to staring

at the wall in the local gym for 30 minutes to an hour jogging…or performing any other slow, and somewhat boring type of cardio.

-So why does HIIT burn more fat than regular moderate intensity cardio, like jogging?

To put it simply, after your HIIT training session is over with your metabolism explodes and tons of calories are being burned.

These calories are being burned because your body must recover from the HIIT workout you just exposed it to (the details as

to why exactly this happens are pretty complicated, and would take a long time to explain, so I’ll spare you). Just understand

that after the workout, not during the workout, is when the fat is being burnt.

HIIT offers people an extremely effective and, as shown by the study done by Tremblay and other authors, a very fast way to

eliminate fat. In addition to this, it can increase your muscle’s resistance to fatigue. Although, probably the best part about

this type of training is that you no longer have to spend 30 minutes to an hour at your gym jogging away your life on the treadmill.

Here's a tip: Personally, I enjoy listening to some type of fast paced music while performing an HIIT workout. Doing this can

really increase the intensity of your workout, and similarly, the productivity of it as well. Some type of MP3 player usually

works best because they don't jiggle around very much.

If you decide to take up HIIT training you may want to check it out with your doctor first. This type of training is incredibly

effective, but it is also very intense.
