HIIT is exactly that, interval training at high intensity (Sprint 30 sec, Jog 30 sec, repeat)

A diet that is about 500 calories lower than maintenance.

You can find out more about HIIT at the wikipedia page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-intensity_interv al_training even though theres not much on the site, there is some good links.

I like to sprint for 1 minute, and jog for 2 minutes for about half an hour. just depends on preference, you can do HIIT training other ways too (i.e. jump rope, heavy bag, swiming etc.)
