There is one way you can do minimal work and actually get the returns of an hour worth of steady state cardio in just four 30 second sprints or two minutes hard sprinting…

Its often said, HIIT is best – why?
Some recent studies by researchers said so and the fat burn that HIIT inspires continues long after the cardio session. Well, there are two ways of doing it now.
So what did this study say? Does it back it up?
It sure does! British scientists showed that 2 minutes of a high intensity sprint compared them same to four 30 second sprints. Both improved blood sugar regulation and fat oxidization. It was done on stationary bikes, treadmill, rowers etc with very similar results.
What did they conclude?
That using the methods of a single longer sprint or several shorter sprints with a break between each, you can do the equivalent fat burn in a tiny fraction of the time. HIIT improves endurance, increases muscle glycogen and enhances mitochondrial capacity. All in all, HIIT is win win in terms of the body, health and fat burning stakes!
