In this
article I'll share with you one of the best.
It
burns loads of calories. It's super simple to do.
And you can do it right from the comfort of you own home -
without equipment.
I kid you not, this workout gets
results like gangbusters!
It's got "Special forces"
roots, modified for the average person.
Ok.
So before we get started I want to explain a few little tips
here that will help you maximize the results you get from this.
Don't worry though, this stuff is easy peezy lemon squeezy.
Tip
1. Do it in the morning BEFORE you eat.
Research,
studies and my own painstaking trial and error prove that you burn more
fat exercising while on an empty "fasted" stomach.
Tip
2. Do this at least 5 days each week. 6 would be
better... and 7 would be the best. Look. It's only
10 minutes for cryin out loud!
Tip 3.
NEVER. I repeat... NEVER stop moving!
Continual
intensity is the key. You can actually get better results
from just a 10 minute workout in which you sweat your butt off, than
trying to walk for a whole hour.
So those are the
tips.
As for the workout, here's what you want to
do...
I'm going to assume that you have access to no
equipment here, so I'm going to give you the "body weight" version of
this. For those who have free weights or dumbells, feel free
to incorporate.
For those who have been a regular on
this site, reading the hundreds of articles, you know by now that I'm a
huge fan of incorporating both muscle development and cardio into the
same workout routines. Bottom line... muscle development is
the best for burning fat, but when you work in a rapid pace you get the
calorie burning benefits of cardio.
It
just makes for the "perfect storm".
So for this 10
minute workout routine simply do the following without stopping (You
should be able to get through the 5 step cycle at least 3 times)...
1.
Push ups (20 reps). If you can't do regular, just
rest on your knees.
2. Squats (20 reps).
Keep your feet shoulder width apart.
3.
One legged squats (10 reps each leg). Just brace
yourself on a wall or something if you can't balance. (This is
the 10 minute workout "pivot". I'll explain in a sec.)
4.
Step ups (10 reps each leg). Find a box or
something a couple of feet high and use that. Forget the
weights if you don't have any.
5.
Bicycle Kicks (40 reps. Kick right then
kick left - equals one rep. (Yes, that's me on my basement
coffee table. Old school style!!)
That's
it. Just five exercises make up this 10 minute workout.
Just 5!
Here's a bit of what makes it so
effective...
Notice that 4 of the exercises involve
your legs. It's really quite simple... your legs contain your
biggest muscles. Working them burns the most calories because
it expends the most energy to make them move. Way more than
if you just focus on your arms.
Plus, it's really
help you shape your butt and thighs, while still burning fat around
your waist.
Secondly. The "pivot"
exercise. The one that really makes you work your
butt of, is number 3. Bottom line... one legged squats make
you work! This exercise is a real calorie burner.
(Make sure you squat down to parallel.)
If
you do this workout each day for the next two weeks, then I assure you
that you're gonna notice some major results.
