Interval Training and Fat Loss: The Untold Story

The performance-enhancing benefits of interval training have long been known to athletes and their coaches. In fact, when Roger Bannister became the first man in history to run a mile in less than four minutes one blustery afternoon in May 1954, a large part of his speed and stamina was built using interval training

It wasn't until an article called HIIT and Run, written by Shawn Phillips and published in the August 1998 issue of the now defunct Muscle Media magazine that interval training started to attract interest as a way to lose fat. But it was probably Bill Phillips (Shawn's brother) who did the best job of popularizing the fat-burning benefits of interval training with his best-selling book, Body-for-LIFE.

However, despite its popularity, you might be surprised to learn that there are very few published studies to show that interval training actually produces greater fat loss than regular cardio. I could find only three. And there's even less evidence to tell us what type of interval training works best for fat loss.

Read on, and I'll reveal exactly what interval training can (and can't) do for fat loss, why it's never been proven to work "nine times faster" than regular cardio, as well as the type of workout that I think works best for stripping off stubborn body fat.

So, why has interval training become so popular in recent years
