Hello, I'm a 5'11" 185 pound guy with around 20-25% body fat who wants 10% body fat and a lean and toned body. I know High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) is good for losing the little bit of extra flab because it pushes your body but since I still have quite a lot to lose, should I stick to regular cardio/moderate intensity interval training first then do HIIT when I'm closer to my goals? Should I be worried that I would get accustomed to the HIIT and that when I just that annoying layer of fat left it wont work as well?
ANSWER:
To answer your first question: No. There is no reason to avoid HIIT at any part of your training program (note: there are health related exceptions). If you are physically healthy and are not taking any stimulant products such as coffee and especially "fat burner" supplements HIIT is going to be a potent stimulator to your metabolism as well as burn a lot of calories.

For example: Bicep workout:
Standing curls with curl bar. 3 sets of 10, moderate weight.
Standing dumbbell curls. 3 sets 10, 8, 6 weight increasing
Standing hammer curls. same sets
Cable "superman" curls same sets
"21's" 7 lower bicep curls, 7 upper, and 7 full
That completes my bicep workout and for chest I do around 7 excercises with 8-10 reps a set. I work other muscle groups too but for the sake of time I am not typing all of that.... Is this too much?
