Do you really want to burn fat? Use speed intervals for cardio and you will see your body begin to sculpt faster. High intensity interval training (HIIT) is a proven fat burning cardio exercise.
Also, HIIT is the best way to burn fat (while saving muscle mass) in the shortest amount of time as well as increase VO2 Max. All that's needed is 10-20 minutes per session.
Here is an example of how speed intervals could work for you:
After a proper dynamic warmup (like jog progressively for 5 minutes), sprint for 60 yards and walk back to the starting line. The sprint has to be at maximum effort. Do this rotation for 10-20 minutes.
To continually challenge yourself, progress this cardio exercise to surfaces such as inclines, hills and stadium steps. Weighted resistance, such as vests, could also be used. Its just that simple! And that tough!
Other good speed interval cardio exercises are jumping rope, squat jumps, burpees, jumping jacks or mountain climbers. Do the intervals for 30 seconds and walk for 1 minute. Do this rotation for 10-20 minutes.
Try more speed interval cardio during your workouts and you will burn more fat!
