"The other group did a 15-week program including mainly high-intensity-interval training (HIIT).
Much like the ET group, they began with 30-minute sessions of continuous exercise at 70% of maximum heart rate reserve (remember, they were not accustomed to exercise), but soon progressed to 10 to 15 bouts of short (15 seconds progressing to 30 seconds) or 4 to 5 long (60 seconds progressing to 90 seconds) intervals separated by recovery periods allowing heart rate to return to 120-130 beats per minute. The intensity of the short intervals was initially fixed at 60% of the maximal work output in 10 seconds, and that of the long bouts corresponded to 70% of the individual maximum work output in 90 seconds. Intensity on both was increased 5% every three weeks. "
Forget the Fat-Burn Zone
If you read the rest of the article it says that they did burn fat, a lot of fat. But they did 30 minutes of exercise before they started every HIIT/Tabata session.
I am still trying to see where you think you can only work out for 10 minutes and burn fat.
