So you want to know how to lose weight fast? Would it be news to you if I said you have to exercise as well as eat a healthy diet? I didn't think so. I'm sure that you have heard that too many times with a lot of vagueness. No one seems to know how to exercise to lose fat (notice I didn't say weight) and retain muscle. No one except the ones who are tired of getting pestered daily with exercise questions. So listen up, take note and get ready to lose weight fast.

The most important thing is to learn how to leverage your body so it can burn fat faster. If you know how to exercise correctly, then you can spend as little as 15 minutes in a workout a day to turbo charge your metabolism from that point until the next day. If you can put your body in a state where it burns an extra calorie every 2 minutes, how many extra calories would you burn in 24 hours? Does that sound a lot more productive than just burning calories for the duration of a boring hour of cardio? Good, I have your attention.

Do you know what you have to do to speed up your metabolic rate for the next 24 hours? High Intensity Interval Training ( HIIT ) is what you need to do. This involves doing anaerobic exercises that get your heart rate to around 90% of its max rate. Sprinting will help you achieve this heart rate. All you need to do is sprint for 15 to 30 seconds 10 to 15 times in a session. Between each exercise, you will need to catch your breath by doing something like walking for a minute or two. After you have completed 10-15 reps, then you are finished and free to cool down, stretch and go home.

That's not so bad is it? I Know it doesn't sound easy, but this is why so many people avoid doing it. It is hard, you will have to push yourself, but you will get in the shape that you want fast. In fact, a study at Laval University showed that this training method made their trainees lose 9x more fat than those who did traditional cardio (20-60 minutes of moderate cardio). If you combine this with weight training you'll increase your metabolism even more so you'll burn fat faster.

Remember, when you are going to exercise to lose weight, HIIT is the way to do it. Not only will you burn fat, but you'll also boost your growth hormone levels, and this is why sprinters are in better shape than long distance runners. Most importantly, your metabolism will be elevated throughout the rest of the day.
