You will burn more fat, save more muscle due to the high intensity. Just remember to go hard for the high intensity parts.

I did a search on HIIT, it didn't give me the info I wanted..

A few questions for ya.
1-Can I do this on a Crosstrainer rather then a treadmill?

2- I've heard moderate cardio helps keep muscle mass (which I want) and loses the fat.. with HIIT would it lose fat and muscle at the same time?

cutting fat

To cut fat you need to burn more calories then you eat, period.

So burn some more calories.. using cardio is fine.. whatever works.

But what is easier.. is decreasing your calories.. cut out any soft drinks with sugar.. cut out mayonaise and dressing.. these little things can add up to HUNDREDS of calories per day. It takes running a mile to burn a hundred calories.. so think of it like that.. I can drink this soda and run 1.5 miles.. or I can drink water and just hang out.

You can do it on any cardio machine you want, but I like to just sprint on the road.

It will help you burn fat and preserve muscle. Just do a search for HIIT on google of MFW.
