Basically allows you to prevent your body from getting used to your energy needs by mixing it up frequently, so the body almost always burns energy from the fat reserves.
My program is 5minutes of walking to warm up, then you sprint for a minute, and drop back to walking for 2 minutes. Next, sprint again for 1 minute, but it has to be a different speed than the first one.
Also, the sprinting is useless if you arent pushing yourself hard.
Do 4 or 5 loops of that and then 3 minutes walking to cooldown.
If i remember correctly, HIIT helps your body continue to burn extra fat for a day or two afterwards.

Yep, I can vouch for interval training. Works great! How I lost my weight.
In saying that though, it doesn't have to be a sprint, it just needs to be high intensity, so if a fast jog is enough to bring your heart rate up high, then that is just as effective, having a heart rate monitor helps with this as the fitter you get, the harder you need to push.
