This cardio workout originated in Japan. Out of all the interval workouts that are available, this one is considered as one of the best to burn off fat. Every workout is supposed to be performed for approx. 20 to 30 seconds and then followed up by rest period of 10 seconds (also known as recovery phase).

Hill sprints are one of the best outdoor fitness workouts. It’s an intense workout to burn off fat in a speedy manner. 10-20 minutes a day and this workout can help you in shedding off the extra kilos in no time. The best part about this workout is that it can actually make you feel more energized rather than fatigued. Make sure that the posture stays in an optimal condition during the workout, as its common that to make the hill sprint easy you will find yourself leaning forward too much.

3. Rope jumping also called skipping

This workout is in no way less enjoyable than any other cardio workout when it is performed in combination with another exercise. For example 5 minutes of skipping and then alternating to side planks and then back to another 5 minutes of skipping. Doing this is a complete set of 10 to 12 times this workout can burn of anything up to 750 calories.
