High Intensity Interval Training. Never tryed it myself but I guess they did a study at Laval Universtiy in Quebec and found that it helped people loose 9 times more fat than those who trained the traditional way of moderate speed for 20-60 minutes. Basics of it are running at a moderate pace for a 1 minute then sprinting for 30 seconds rinse and repeat for 20 minutes.

What do you guys think of this? any of you actually do this?

I will have to try it.

LOL at the rinse and repeat.

I do this but for a little lower intensity and for longer. Usually on the treadmill I run faster for a mile, then walk it off, then pick it up again, then walk it off again.

The best way to do this is 5 minute walk at around 3.8 on the treadmill. then 2 minutes at 4.8. then 1 minute at 5.8. then 30 sec. at 6.8. repeat 2 to 5 times depending on how much you can handle. Beginners definitely only do this 3 times. slowly work your way up to 5. Once this becaomes relatively easy at the end stay running at 6.8 for a full 5 minutes and the cool down for two minutes at 3.0. Works great for burning fat.
