The name of this method it self explains the way of performing this exercise.

The best time to do this cardio workout is in the morning before your meal. This is because you can straight away burn fat instead of needing to burn the sugar first and also if your cardio workout is done in the morning, you can have the benefit of higher metabolism throughout the day!
How to lose belly fat fast with Hiit cardio?
Here are the details of the workout. Basically, the entire workout last for twenty minutes and this workout are split into ten intervals and one interval consists of one minute sprint and one minute walk. Notice that I have used the word sprint. In this lose belly fat fast cardio workout, you really have to sprint to the point of out of breath. You really have to test yourself to the limit in each sprint minute! Then, after the one minute sprint, walk for one minute to recover. Straight after the recovery minute is over, sprint again hard!
So, each interval have a one minute sprint and one minute walk. During the first interval, you do not have to sprint all out, just moderate intensity. Gradually increase your speed on the sprint. Starting on the fourth interval, your sprint will be maximum intensity.
The entire cardio workout have ten intervals, therefor this Hiit workout last for twenty minutes excluding your warm up.
Mix around your cardio equipment to lose belly fat fast. You do not have to use treadmill alone! You can use the stationary bike, the elliptical trainer or the stairmaster. For example if you use the stairmaster, for the sprint interval, use level thirteen and for the recovery use level five assuming that the difficulty scale is from intensity one to intensity fifteen.
You can also use Hiit cardio workout outdoors. This kind of training is also called wind sprints. For example, find a mark that is around two hundred meters away from you. A mark can be a lamppost, a tree or even a bench. Sprint as hard as you can to the mark. Once you reached it, just jog back to your starting point. Do ten to fifteen intervals.
For a tip, before you start your intervals, I suggest you warm up for five minutes first and stretch your muscles to prevent injury. This is a workout for intermediate to advance exerciser. If you are a beginner, I suggest you increase your cardio fitness first. Consult your doctor before starting this program if you have any medical illnesses.
Get started on your Hiit cardio workout straight away! Do not procrastinate and jumpstart your fat loss program today. Remember, for maximum results, include at least 2 sessions of weight training and get on a fat loss diet.
