What if your goal was fat loss and you did an hour a day of low-intensity cardio. Would that be a good idea compared to higher intensity cardio with much shorter workouts?  What if you did 90 minutes, or even (gasp) TWO HOURS a day of low intensity cardio?  What about that?  Bad? Total overkill? Or could that be a secret key to losing fat fast that most people never use because it's too time consuming?  What if you had the time? For the answer to this unusual question, read on.

High intensity interval training (HIIT) has been promoted as a time-efficient way of doing cardio. Advocates of HIIT often claim that HIIT is superior to moderate intensity steady-state training (MISS) for fat loss. However, whether HIIT produces more total fat loss over time has not been confirmed in long-term research that measured body composition. A new meta-analysis reviewing 54 different studies has now finally answered the question, which is better, "slow and steady or hard and fast"...
