    That's a very broad question. Any chance that you can narrow it down a little bit? There are a ton of ways to do HIIT exercises and endless areas for discussion.

    I do a HIIT Treadmill workout every single day. It has almost been a week since I first started and I really am enjoying it!
    I get on the treadmill and walk for a minute at a comfortable, warm up speed: 4mph.
    I run at a sprinting speed for a minute: 8mph.
    Then I wait 30s, hop on the sides of the treadmill to give myself a break.
    Then I sprint at 8mph again.
    I repeat this 10 times!

    I use the elliptical trainer which allows me to sprint all-out. I sprint for 30 seconds at maximum effort, then rest for 90; I do ten to fifteen sets of this. The 'maximum effort' (not just 'faster') is important. What you are actually doing is not just burning fat, but teaching your body that you will be exerting yourself in a way that, unlike normal running, fat stores cannot fuel. Therefore, your body will start storing energy in the used muscles, rather than in the fat reserves.
