High Intensity Interval Training Tips - Speeding up your fat loss

One of the people who has strongly affected my outlook on fat loss exercise was a guy by the name of Pareto. He's probably best known for his 80/20 rule, the pareto effect.

High Intensity Interval Training is a great example of the pareto effect, a small amount of time, huge benefits. It is however very tough, imagine you weren't getting the most benefit you could out of your High Intensity Interval Training routine. That would be such a waste.

One of the problems with exercise and fat loss is that the devil is in the details. If I could give you a tip that would guarantee more bang for your buck while doing High Intensity Interval Training you would be interested, right?

I don't lose fat easily, I can work hard lifting barbells, sticking to a healthy diet and doing intervals through the cane fields for weeks on end without any change in weight.

So does this mean it doesn't work? Course not. I have found that small tweaks in the details of my programs make the biggest changes to my weight loss. One small change and my weight loss starts galloping at a rate and my trips to the scale end up being a pleasure. It's during these times I can see the fat loss when I look in the mirror

So what's one of these supercharge changes that's going to accelerate fat loss. Well, the secret is in the choice of muscles that you use to do your High Intensity Interval Training.

If you know the basics of why High Intensity Interval Training works, then you will know about a little process called Epoc. It's the process of your body replacing the energy stored in your muscles that get used up during intense exercise. This store is an emergency reserve for your body and when it gets used up the body rushes around in a bit of a panic trying to replace it.

If you are on a sensible nutrition plan the only place the body can find energy is to start shoveling out those fat stores. Bigger muscles have bigger stores of energy that need to be replaced. The more energy needed to be replaced, the more fat will be required for energy.

Just think about it this way, what would use more energy, intensely exercising your legs or going balls to the wall on your bicep. So weight loss tip one is use bigger muscles for bigger fat loss.
