You can look at the HIIT sticky to get an idea about high intensity cardio. You'll want to decide if you want to do steady state low intensity cardio, HIIT, or some of both. I'm a HIIT believer but it all has it's use and appropriateness.

well depends on his state of cardio, if his cardio sucks, HIIT most likely may be too intense to be used at first. If ur a 250 lb sluggish fat fuck, u wouldnt want to start off ur cardio program with HIIT. just my .2 cents but no doubt HIIT is an excellent cardio program for fatloss
