A New Meta-Analysis Has Found the Best Exercise for Fat Loss
And it only involves two minutes of exercising
There has long been a dispute about the best way to lose fat. Some people advocate for running or cycling for hours at a time. Others do Crossfit or F45 training. Some people do high-intensity interval training (HIIT). And others just lift weights.
But a recent meta-analysis has found the most effective exercise for fat loss, and it only involves 2 minutes of exercising.
The study
Seventy-five studies were analyzed that compared sprinting, HIIT, and/or continuous cardio.
The study found that sprint interval training (SIT) leads to almost 40% more fat loss than HIIT training, despite exercising for 60% less time. The sprints are also 85.64% shorter than HIIT sprints. Compared to continuous cardio exercise, sprinting led to 91.8% more fat loss and 71.1% less time exercising. You can see why sprints are so powerful — big results from little time commitment.
Another key finding was that SIT reduced body fat in half the time it took for HIIT to reduce body fat.
The protocol
This workout takes about 20 minutes in total to complete, and only two-four minutes of actual exercising…
