Burst Training

Has anyone tried Burst Training, combined with Wii sports active.
I have just started today, done it after my workout.
Tam|||The object of Burst training is to only do burst training. According to my trainer if you do other exercise it negates the effect of the bursts. If you really want to do other training they only recommend less than 30 minutes of resistance work before you do the bursts then you rest for 48 hours and repeat.
I tried it and didn't enjoy it at all. It's fast but it doesn't really do much for building muscle or for cardio work. Variations are used by sports teams but they do it in cycles of 45 sec of various exercises with minimal recovery time. It's usually called Interval training rather than Burst though.

I found that link through youtube, after you replied to my post on working out, that was the first that I heard of Burst Training. I have been looking into Burst Training, And I am going to give it a go.
My plan is to do resistance workouts on Wii sports active for about 30 mins every other day then a burst session consisting of 4 bursts of 60 seconds with 2 or 3 mins recovery between bursts. I did my first one yesterday.
2 sets of squat,curl, and shoulder press with dumbels. 2 sets of sprinting on the spot as fast as I can.
I done 1 of each then repeated them.
A website that I found said I should do burst first before resistance and it will keep the effect going throughout the workout.
I enjoy cardio, but I will leave it out for now, and see how I get on.
I will report back on this topic and let you know how I am doing.
My goal is to get fit and lose Fat not Muscle.
I ran several marathons when I was younger but always had fat around my waist even though I was running about 50 miles per week.
