High Intensity Interval Training or HIIT:

      The basis premise is that the long and slow school of aerobics for fat-burning is now outdated. Shawn Phillips of Muscle Media 2000 claims the way to more fat-burning success is interval training done on a track, a bike, or stairs. It all starts with a basic four minute program that consists of 60 seconds at about 50% max. effort, then 30 seconds of max. or near max., 60 seconds at 50%, 30 seconds all out, then the 60 second phase again. Every 3rd workout you are to add one 30 second ‘sprint’ phase and one 30 second ‘cool down’ phase.

     To get cut there is nothing else like a good diet. High reps and less weight is a myth as is spot reducing. Aerobics are good, however, too much will burn muscle. A good diet and moderate/light aerobics will work to get your body fat to less than 10%.
