Weight Loss Exercises Based on HIIT

Basing your weight loss exercises on the HIIT techniques could be your best bet for fat loss.

Multiple studies have shown that HIIT (High Intensity Interval Exercises) are far more effective at burning body fat than lower intensity aerobic training. One study showed that HIIT burns nine times more body fat, in less time than an endurance training program.

This high intensity training system elevates your Resting Metabolic Rate for up to 24 hours post exercise, and improves your aerobic capacity. Another positive is that you will maintain or even build your muscle mass. So you burn fat for 24 hours and get in aerobic shape to boot.

And you can do it in about 12 minutes a day, three days a week.

So how do I do it?

Before you pencil in a time slot on your calendar, realize that is a very intense program. It's only 4 minutes of hell combined with eight minutes of warm up/warm down to get in the best shape of your life.

The HIIT weight loss exercises are based on 20 seconds of intense activity, followed by 10 seconds of rest/recovery, repeated for 4 minutes. You start with a four minute warm up period and end the exercises with 4 minutes of warm down.

Here's a sample workout:

HIIT using sprints as exercise choice-
• Jog four minutes for warm up.

• Sprint for 20 seconds.
• Walk/Jog for 10 seconds.

• Repeat Sprint/Walk for seven more cycles.

• Jog four minutes as warm down.

This thing will kick your arse!

But the reward is your body fat melting off like buttah.

If running is not your deal, there are other HIIT exercises. Choose an exercise that uses as many muscle groups as possible.

Exercise Options:
• Exercise bike
• Rowing machine
• Stair stepper

• Squats
• Kettlebell swings or thrusters

• Jumping jacks
• Burpees
• Jump rope

  So what are you waiting for?
