Exercise for fat loss can be categorized into three general types: High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT), Sprint Interval Training (SIT), and Moderate-Intensity Continuous Training (MICT).

“So rather than think about weight training versus cardiovascular exercise, I think the most simple way, the most fluid way to have this conversation about exercise and fat loss is in terms of three general types of training. Whether or not it's done with weights or body weight doesn't really matter. And those are high intensity interval training. Something that's seems to have gained a lot of popularity in recent years. So-called HITT, H-I-I-T. So high intensity interval training. Sprint interval training. So that's going to be very high intensity or SIT, or moderate intensity continuous training, M-I-C-T. So we've got HIIT, SIT and MICT, M-I-C-T.”
