Question: How does Interval training Workouts for 20 minutes burn more fat than jogging for an hour?
and i have very low fitness level, meaning, i can't run for 10minutes straight. Will interval training work better for my cardiovascular? and maybe 3months time, i will be able to run for 40minutes straight, if i keep pushing myself to the max, with interval hard training?

Answers:

HIIT or High intensity interval training is a protocol used to improve cardiovascular fitness and accelerate fat loss in intermediate to advanced conditioned athletes. You as you said, are a beginner.
I strictly suggest you NOT starting HIIT training unless you have a Solid foundation of basic cardiovascular fitness or you may suffer unwanted accidents in the form of passing out or the worst one, heart and lung failure. HIIT is not a safe option for you at all...

HIIT increases your EPOC...or basically, the amount you spend after your workout by stimulating hormones and triggering certain chemical reactions in your body. A 10 mile run, jog or HIIT training will burn equal amount of calories but they will take different amount of time to complete. This variation in workout density decides the post workout energy expenditure. Which is the highest in HIIT.

There is nothing magical about intervals. The interval method is no more than high intensity exercise for a brief time and low intensity exercise for as long as it takes to recover from the high intensity exercise repeated over and over. It is probably better for most people who want to exercise because it involves higher intensity exercise and challenges the body more than a continuous moderate level of exercise. The benefits are as you might expect. They may include slightly improved cardio-vascular fitness, slightly improved general and systemic fitness, a slightly greater caloric consumption and an slightly longer post-exercise metabolic rate increase.

Do them if you want to but don't expect miracles. And, if you're a beginner, don't push yourself to the max. Take it slow and easy and gradually increase your level of intensity as your body becomes more able to accommodate it.

Good luck and good health!!
