If you want to lose fat (and not muscle) fast without doing hours of cardio every week, then you want to know more about high-intensity interval training.

Most of us learned at a young age that promises of “more for less” are usually a sham.

Well…no.

No amount of supplements can get you the body you want. In fact, most supplements can’t even help you get the body you want–they’re just completely worthless.

All we have to do, we’re told by shady exercise “gurus,” is spend a couple hours per week doing their workout routines and we’ll look like a Greek statue?

And that’s what we’re going to talk about in this article:
