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
not true, High Intensity simply means high intensity for you. In the past i was a fat bastard and started out doing Hiit sprints for 15-20 seconds, maybe 5-7 of them... I dropped fat very quickly, and was also able to increase my sprints duration to 25-30 seconds, and increase my sprints to 13-15 per session.

What I will say is, if you are overly overly obese Hiit will take a toll on your joints, then again so will long distance solid state cardio. So its best to find a machine like a elipical ... which you can do Hiit style training on anyway.
