Fat loss and calories and Interval training?

Fat loss and calories and Interval training?
If you exercise you use up calories so when you eat those calories are burnt to make up the energy you have lost. How then does the body actually burn fat?

Does interval training actually help with fat loss or is 30-45mins slow exercise better?

Over the past few years, there's been a rise in the popularity of interval exercise as a way of promoting greater fat loss. In his best-selling book, Body-for-LIFE, Bill Phillips recommends a series of intervals lasting 60 seconds.

But is this really the best way to train for rapid weight loss? Where's the evidence for interval training?

Several studies have compared interval training to more traditional forms of continuous aerobic exercise, with the majority pointing the way to interval exercise as a superior way to lose weight.

One of the more recent trials was published in Medicine and Science in Sports & Exercise [4].

A group of overweight women were assigned to one of two groups. The first group trained using high intensity intervals, which involved 2 minutes of intense effort (95% of VO2max) alternated with 3 minutes at a lower intensity (25% of VO2max).

Group two exercised at a steady state (50% of VO2max). The lengths of the workouts were varied so that both groups burned 300 calories per session.

Results showed that fitness levels in the interval group increased by 13%. No such improvements were found in the steady state group.
