How to Get Rid of Superficial Body Fat

There are three basic types of body fat in the human body. Subcutaneous or superficial fat, which sits between the muscles and the skin, is what causes dimples and rolls in the skin. The second type of fat is intramuscular fat, which resides between the muscle fibers. The third is visceral fat, which sits between the organs. To reduce superficial fat in particular in the most efficient way, you will need to alternate high intensity interval training with weight lifting, and will need to improve your diet. According to studies done on test subjects at Tokyo Metropolitan University in 1997, along with several other studies, high intensity cardiovascular exercise, in particular, helps to burn subcutaneous fat.
