HIIT is recommended more for its longer duration metabolism boost than low steady cardio. At least this year it was, not sure what the new fad might be.

You can do cardo right pretty easy. I hear HITT is again, one of those things you do to get the last 15-30 lbs off and get your abs raging etc...It is unquestionably more intense and probably rewards accordingly. HITT is really good for the guy bitching about running being "boring." He can get his cardo in like 25 mins instead of an hour and have a lot more fun and a better work out. But that guy is already jacked.
If you can't do stuff like un-assisted pull-ups and 50 push ups at once...chances are your going to have a really hard time just doing a HITT program without failing every stage .Doesn't mean you wasted time -- its just rough and arguably worse than doing less intensity right.
HITT I think is the kind of training they do in the military. No expert but that's what it seems like. It will make you generally more atheletic and strong as a person. But I heard that its not necessarily good to be doing this kind of jumping from high intensity to rest for 35+ year old men.
That's a brand spanking new study -- but it appears that HITT might be more of a young mans game (or women oddly).
