Whether you're looking to improve your overall health or simply slim down for summer, burning off excess fat can be quite challenging. Sorry for playing neutral, but deciding which workout program is better between HIIT or Insanity depends on you. If you are an experienced athlete, Insanity workouts can help put you over the edge to achieve your next level of fitness goals. If you are not as experienced, HIIT routines are still an excellent way to pump up your workouts and continue to build strength. Although Insanity and max interval training will burn more fat than HIIT workouts on average, the level of difficulty may exclude individuals from earning optimal results. Regardless, both workouts will push you to your limits and burn fat much faster than steady state cardio ever could.
The only down side to HIIT is that it cannot be performed too many times per week without having an overtraining effect. Since HIIT has many of the same effects of a weight training session it can strain the central nervous system. For this reason you will want to keep HIIT to two 10-20 minute sessions per week. These two sessions should be performed on your non weight training days and should be treated just like your weight training sessions as far as nutrition is concerned.
