How To Burn Fat Faster
Who wants to spend hours in the gym sweating over boring cardio? Not me, for one, and now it turns out that working out less can actually make you fitter rather than fatter.
Scientists have discovered that working out in quick bursts at maximum effort is as effective as a non-stop low-intensity routine that takes twice the time. This is because the intense bursts of exercise encourage your body to build a type of muscle fiber that uses up oxygen and fat faster, burning extra calories in the process.
Try alternating 4 four-minute bursts of running at maximum effort with a three-minute recovery periods at a lower intensity. Cut down on the recovery period times as you improve. I have found that, after a good warm up, running 8 speed bursts for 20 seconds followed by jogging recoveries of 40 seconds works really well. The shorter sprinting time allows you to run hard.
However, it takes time to build up to this.
