Ive lost 24 kgs recently. Most of my onditioning has been HIIT work on the cross trainer. I've also done plenty of tabata intervals on the cross trainer too. The interval work has taxed me greatly and adversely affected my strength but that's not my priority atmo. I do 5 sessions every 8 days, 30 mins HIIT and 30 mins steady walking on the treadmill (HR 110-120 range). I walk my dogs for an hour 5x per 8 days too.
Another big part of my weight loss has been the fact that I have drastically reduced the amount of s**te that I eat. I still eat 3,000kcals+ on most days, I'm 112 kgs and don't feel that I need to eat less than this.
I'm not suggesting that my regimen is one of the better ones, it suits me and that's all that matters.

I've lost 7kg since 4th Jan and I've spent a total of 20 minutes doing cardio in that time. If you're pretty porky, sort your diet out and the weight will drop without any additional training. I'm not sure this approach would be so ideal for someone looking to go from 'lean' to 'six pack' (e.g. a gay).
I'm NOT trying to lose weight, gain if anything, just improve my conditioning for strongman
I do 1 events day a week, where obviously I do some conditioning work, but during the week I am looking at doing 2-3 additional conditioning sessions. Either hill sprints(10 to 20 short sprints will short rest intervals) or sprints on the rower(500m sprints as it takes me about 90 secs, the same as a long medley, 4-6 times)
Decent plan? Any advice

Cutting the Carbs at any weight would stimulate fat burning. Just as the Bodybuilders do their diets... opps I've mentioned bodybuilders, I must be gay
