Compound exercises turns your fat in free fatty acids, but you're body needs L-Carnitine for better burning of the free fatty acids.
Burning Body Fat
Compound exercises don't necessarily turn burn body fat.
What it comes down to how the program is written and executed.
Metabolic Conditioning Program
High Intensity Interval Cardio Training and High Intensity Interval Resistance Training Program (essentially Resistance Circuit Training Programs) elicit...
Excess Post Oxygen Consumption, EPOC
Metaphorically speaking, EPOC amount to over charing your "Metabolic Credit Card".
You essentially own more than you can pay off at one time
As with a Credit Card, you body has to pay it back over time with Interest.
In other word, Metabolic Rate remains elevate for hour after a Training Session. it burn more calories/body fat.
A quick finisher (5-10 rounds of 15s on, 45 off) with a high heart rate makes sure your body creates L-Carnitine
10 Rounds Of Interval Training
This method trigger EPOC which increases your Metabolic Rate long after the Training Session is over.
Secondly, what makes10 Round the magic number?
The Issue High Intensity Interval Training "Sprint Sets"
One of two things happen when performing all out High Intensity Interval Sets...
1) Due to the High Number of Sprint Sets, many individual hold back, not going all out. They tend to hold back so they can complete all of the High Intensity Sets.
2) They go all out on the on the first few High Intensity Training Sets and are depleted on the remaing High Intensity Interval Training Sets.
"You Can Train Hard or Long But Not Both"
Vince Gironda
There is a See-Saw Effect with Training.
Intensity is on one side of the See-Saw and Time is on the other side.
When Intensity Goes Up, Time Goes down.
When Time Goes Up, Intensity Goes Down
With that in mind one of the most effective method of High Intensity Interval Training is...
Dr Jamie Timmon's HIIT Protocol
High Intensity Training delivers the same physical benefits as traditional endurance training, even though it takes considerably less time.

This is composed of...
1) Three Twenty (20) Second Sprints.
2) Rest Periods of Two (2) Minutes are taken between each Sprint.
The Shorter Number of Sprints with Longer Rest Periods between them ensure greater Force Production and Intensity in each Sprint; greater Speed, Power and Strenth is produced and developed.
This method falls into the category of....
SupraMaximal Interval Training, S.M.i.T.
This method is more effective is more effective for individual interseted in the development of Maxium Strength, Power and Speed.
HIIT provide is more effective for Endurance Athletes
L-Carnitine
it has been shown to increase fat burning to some extent.
With that said...
What research data do you have that finishing a workout with High Intensity interval Training produces an increase level of L-Carnitine?
