The Explosive Fast Fat Burning Workout Which Works!

Do you need to burn fat and fast? Maybe you've got a hot date coming up, a special occasion or event like a beach holiday, or maybe you're just not happy with the way you look – whatever you reasons for wanting to burn fat fast - I'm here to help. Because it is possible when you know how and I'm going to reveal all below.

Let me explain. Fast fat burning is a science, not an art. If you can follow specific instructions, step-by-step, you can burn fat fast. The problem is there's a lot of rubbish, half-truths, and misinformation out there about burning fat. Most of it comes from people who really don't have a clue, or from the big drug companies who make a mint selling diet pills, taking advantage of your hopes and dreams. I'm putting a stop to it.

Here's how...

In the rest of this article I'm going to outline a simple, effective, fat burning workout that you can use to burn calories at will. It revolves around a method of training call high intensity interval training (HIIT). Don't be put off the name, it works, and you only work at your fitness level, so you're not competing with anyone but yourself, so you can build yourself up gradually.

What is HIIT?

High Intensity Interval Training is a powerful training method used by top coaches, trainers and athletes. You can and should be using it. HIIT is not easy. It involves working out at a high intensity (the name gives it away doesn't it), followed by a short period of active recovery, then it's repeated. It's incredibly effective and will give you quicker results than almost any other fat burning method. I won't go into the science here, but if you're really interested just Google "HIIT". So what does HIIT do for you?

How does HIIT benefit you?

• HIIT burns calories fast! Research has shown it can burn up to 50% more calories than steady cardio. Why? For a number for of reasons, it induces an increase in the activity of fat burning enzymes and increases fat utilisation post workout. Research has shown your body will continue to burn fat at higher levels for up to 48 hours after your workout – so you can sit on the couch and still reap the benefits.

• It's quick – you don't need to take a few hours out of your day to fit it in. You'll only be working out for 20 – 30 minutes max!
  
  

• Plus it's great for fitness, it has been shown to produce an increase in aerobic (increase VO2 max) AND anaerobic capacity. If you add HIIT to your training program you'll get fit faster than your competitors who used steady, 'same-old' methods of training.
  
  
  
  

Sample HIIT exercise/workout

To clarity, when doing high intensity interval training, 1 interval = 1 sprint and 1 period of active recovery. On a scale of 1-10 the intensity you work out at should be an 8 or a 9, and your active recovery should be a 3 – a jog (don't stop or walk).

Start off with a 5 minute warm-up by jogging to get your blood flowing and loosen off your muscles. Once you're ready and warm, it's time to get started.

Here's a beginner interval session:

30 seconds sprint followed by 90 seconds active recovery. Repeat 6 times.

E.g. Warm up: Sprint 30 seconds – Recover 90 seconds – Sprint – Recover – Sprint -Recover – Sprint – Recover – Sprint – Recover – Sprint – Recover: Warm down and stretch off.

As you get better, you drop the recovery period, and add sprints. So if you're quite fit, you'd do, eight 30 second sprints followed by only 60 seconds active recovery. As you improve make it harder, add more sets and drop the recovery again, e.g. ten 30 second sprints and 30 seconds recovery. Always remember to warm down and stretch off after the workout.

Your HIIT sessions should be challenging and intense, and do them no more than 2 to 3 times a week. It's certainly not for everyone, so if you're very unfit or overweight you'll have to build yourself up carefully and slowly. HIIT really is great. You do shorter workouts, get quicker results and burn fat for longer – even when you've finished.
