So far my undrestanding is after an intense workout, our body repairs broken muscle and requires eneger to do the job. Hence the more muscle you get, the more energy it requires. Is this true?

How does HIIT get in the picture? Can someone point me to some reliable source on the subject?

    HIIT/Cardio is the best route into losing weight fast.

    The effects are single figure consumption of calories unless one is highly trained already

    HIIT is magic... Apparently...

    Essentially working at higher intensities delivers a slightly increased Post Exercise Oxygen Consumption, which increases energy utilisation.

    Intervals aren't special, but tjheyre time efficient. A 25 minute HIIT session will give you much the same energy usage as a 20 minute tempo session or a 35 minute low intensity session.
