Hope this helps!
If you've been following the advice on Catapult Fitness Blog, you'll be doing so with a clear set of goals and plan of action. If fat loss is one of those goals, high intensity interval training (HIIT) needs to be part of that action plan!
There is no best interval training for fat loss, however, recommendations I have received from Craig Ballantyne, Founder of Turbulence Training include:
- 1 minute on, 1 - 2 minutes off, repeat 6 times
- 30 seconds on, 90 seconds off, repeat 6 times
- 45 seconds on, 90 seconds off, repeat 6 times
- 20 seconds on, 40 seconds off, repeat 8 times
And remember, you can use all types of interval training methods for these workouts:
- Treadmill running
- Stationary cycling
- Outdoor sprints
- Rowing
- Elliptical machine (not my fave, but an acceptable alternative if you have knee problems)
Train hard; stay strong.
Peace.

Huge fan of HIIT. It's methods are being questioned over a tmuscle, but in my own experience, nothing has kept me leaner for longer.
Thanks for the post Clint. It's an interesting article you're referencing (http://www.tmuscle.com/free_online_article_issue/issue_636?s=indexTitle#interval-training-doesn-t-work).
The author did a good job pinpointing research that supports his argument. As in most instances, I'm a firm believer that you can typically find research that supports whatever argument you'd like to make :)
As such, I base my enthusiasm and support of HIIT on my own experience. HIIT hands down is the best form of exercise I've found for incinerating fat fast.
This isn't to say that I don't support steady-state cardio. On the contrary, I feel both modalities have a place in ones workout.
