Quick Fat Burning Cardio Circuit
Written by Adam Kessler
As I have progressed through the years as a trainer, you learn to continually keep up with all the new information that is out there. For years, experts would say to lose fat, you need to do slow and steady cardio exercises. Maybe you walk on the treadmill at a nice pace for 45 minutes. That takes time and what we have found it is a waste of energy.
In today's day and age, who has a spare 45 minutes to do cardio AND spend more time to do a strength training routine. Unless you have some physical issues that require you to do slow and steady (maybe you have some joint issues), those days are long gone.
There is a new way to burn fat effectively, efficiently, and it doesn't cost you precious time.
It is interval training and it has been taken to a new level.
The concept is to do a cardio exercise as fast and hard as you can for 10-15 seconds, then rest up to the remainder of 1 minute, then hit the next exercise. You can do this for 12 minutes and you will burn more fat than that slow, steady walk any day.
Here's how it works. We will pick 4 cardio exercises - let's say jumping jacks, running in place, mountain climbers, and jumping rope. Alright, let's start your routine, Go!!:
1. Jumping jacks, as many and as fast as you can, go, go, go, 15 seconds, alright relax!
2. rest 45 seconds
3. Now let's run in place. Pump those arms, knees high, run fast, run hard, 15 seconds. Okay stop!
4. rest 45 seconds
5. Okay, mountain climbers next, here we go, move those legs, move it!! Move it!! 15 seconds, alright stop!
6. rest 45 seconds
7. Finally, jumping rope, if you don't have a rope, just move your arms, ready...Go!! Quick, quick, like Rocky!! Okay relax
8. rest 45 seconds
Then, if you aren't winding you can repeat that cycle 2 more times, and there is your twelve minutes. Pretty intense. It will burn more body fat for you, get the blood pumping, and make you feel better than any slow and steady cardio. I don't know how many times I see people read while they are doing cardio.
I'm sorry, but if you are reading, then the intensity isn't high enough. So, next time you are doing your cardio, give this a try. You don't need much space and I guarantee you fat burning results.
