Congratulations on getting into an exercise routine! Along with a healthy diet, you’ll be knocking off those calories and burning some fat in no time. But wouldn’t you like to burn even more fat while you’re on this journey of a healthier life?
We can give you some tips on taking what you are doing already and just adding a little more “punch” to it that will help you burn that fat faster. You’re already working out now, so what would be just a little bit more with some adjustments that could be the all-important fat burning moves?
1. Rest Period Reduction: You probably do some weight lifting now, right? Do maybe 10 reps then rest, 10 reps then rest. The first thing we are going to tell you to do is reduce those rest periods. This alone will increase your metabolic rate overall and add some cardiovascular benefits too. Don’t stop rest periods altogether. You need them to give you good form, just shorten them to 30 seconds.
2. Train Superset: Wherever you can, try supersetting which is doing two exercises right after each other without resting. You get that slow fat loss jumpstarted and get you in the gym and back out faster. Pair a lower body exercise with an upper body movement or work two different sets of muscles groups like your hamstrings and you quads.
3. Compound Move Focus: To get that fat burning you have to focus on compound exercises frequently. Compound exercises give you the best calorie burn not just during your exercise session, but afterward too. Compound exercise is bench press, deadlifts, lunges, push-ups, squats as well as leg press and shoulder press.
4. Cardio Intervals: Last but not least, add some cardio into your exercise plans. You could add burpees between bench press sets or while doing your lunges, jump rope. Either way you’ll get those fat calories burned off quicker.
See, you don’t have to change your whole exercise routine that you’ve gotten accustom to. Just make a few tweaks and transform your work out session to a fat burning session. And always remember, no exercise plan is as good as it can be if you don’t keep a balanced, healthy diet too. Anyone under a doctor’s care should always check with them first before starting any type of exercise program or adding to one that you have been released to do.
