Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

HIIT to burn fat

Brutal bursts of squats, burpees and push-ups burn more fat than just running, study claims.


Believe what you want to believe, but results are what matters. All of these exertions are great for general fitness, but if you want to eliminate fat, structure a nutritional plan to live by. As I have said many times, do not look to exercise for fat loss. If you can do it, fine. Few can. Good for you lucky few.


If too skinny, eat a lot of everything, and lift weights.

Not in my experience. Do lots of HIIT in crossift.

What I find grinds up the fat are easy hour and a half "zone 2" bike rides or rows where heart rate is kept low to moderate.

(With the caveat that the key to weight is the kitchen, not the gym. )
