Most people who perform HIIT don't support their workout with the proper nutrition. Today we clear up the fog surrounding what you should do with your diet and supplements to make the most of high intensity interval training.

Your workouts will be greatly improved by following the simple steps shown in today's article.

You probably know at least one person who insists upon training first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. This is more habit than anything else, but they'll swear it's better for your results. In fact when looking into high intensity interval training scientists discovered the direct opposite. Hitting the gym with your body stocked up on all the correct nutrients, which we will cover in just a moment, will give you better results.

This form of cardio is still relatively new to the regular gym user, but has been used by athletes for the biggest part of three decades, so while the majority of trainers are already aware that nutrition needs to be changed when working with interval training, the regular gym goer sometimes gets stuck in the wrong way of thinking.

Today's article will focus mainly on people looking towards the fat loss benefits from high intensity interval training. There are two very important keys here, which are:

* Most people perform their workout on an empty stomach and consume their protein or other supplements after they have finished in the gym. Research actually shows that you can obtain far greater fat loss results if you also take a whey protein shake around twenty minutes before your session, particularly with high intensity cardiovascular workouts.

* Essential amino acids are also fantastic. These will work with your protein supplement to help you retain lean muscle while you burn off fat in the gym.

The majority of people who take their supplements after a session are doing so because they just believe that's what you are supposed to do. In fact, science points out that you can enhance results by taking care of your body both sides of the workout window.

Essential amino acids work before of after a workout, they are a no nonsense supplement that are simply proven to help build lean muscle. However, there have been a number of studies performed which indicate when directly compared with pre-workout and post-workout consumption there is only one winner. One particular piece of research showed a 24% increase in the uptake of the supplement by the muscles, all for something as simple as taking it before your gym session instead of after.

And that concludes today's lesson, guys and girls. These two simple rules will go a long way to increase your HIIT performance and help you smash through the fat loss barrier. Be sure to look after your pre-workout nutrition as well as your post-workout nutrition and you will be shocked at how much your results improve overall.
