Everyone wants to have a tight body, six pack abs, and rock hard muscles. They want to learn how to lose body fat fast, too, because summer is upon us, and the beach is calling for us! Before you crank up that treadmill, stationary bike, or lace your running shoes for a morning jog, you might want to consider a completely different approach...
High Intensity Body Fat Blow Torch
Many people make this mistake: they take an hour or two out of their day to make sure they maximize their workout efforts to burn the most amount of calories possible. This is a great idea! And the heart behind it is good enough. However, there is a better way.
What if there was a way to burn calories throughout the entire day, strengthen your heart, and still have an hour to an hour and a half left over to do whatever else it is you want to do? It takes dedication, hard work, and lots of rest, but you can absolutely torch body fat away quickly with high intensity, full-body exercises that will have your heart pumping, and your muscles working within 30 - 45 minutes. Below are just some of the basic resistance types that you can use when doing full-body exercises.
Body Resistance
Since many people don't have access to a gym, they use the excuse that they can't get a great workout in because they don't have all the special toys. The toys aren't necessary. There are dozens of exercises that you can do with just your body weight. You can alternate lower body and upper body exercises to get a great cardiovascular exercise in that will also strengthen and tone your entire body.
Dumbbell Resistance
You can go purchase a set of dumbbells for fairly inexpensive (maybe even find a friend who's getting rid of some) and get a great workout regimen started. This can add tons of different exercise variations at home, and you can even blend the body resistance with the dumbbells to create a great workout.
Here are just a few variations of a full body workout that I would recommend. It would also not even take more than half an hour to kick start your body's metabolism, and ultimately burn more calories than a regular two hour workout at the gym.
1. Do one set of body squats (maybe a set of 12 - 15, depending on your fitness level) and in between squats, do a set of push-ups. Repeat this for 3 - 4 sets.
2. Do one set of walking lunges (10 steps per leg) and then alternate with dumbbell curl-and-presses. Repeat for 3 - 4 Sets.
3. Do one set of dumbbell rows (12 reps per set) and alternate with reverse crunches. Repeat for 3 - 4 sets.
4. Do one set of dumbbell curls (or concentration curls - 12 reps per set) and alternate with tricep kickbacks or extentions. Repeat for 3 - 4 sets.
This is an extremely short, but intense workout that you can do for 3 days a week. I recommend that you do this for 3 weeks, and then alternate using different exercises that target the same body parts.
