The Most Effective Fat Burning Exercise!
Written by John Alvino
I get asked time and time again, "What exercise burns the most body fat?" The truth is that there is no one "best" fat burning exercise. In reality, you need a database consisting of many effective fat burning exercises. With several excellent exercises to rotate through, you will not experience mental boredom and physical staleness. This will keep your body challenged while encouraging consistent progress. In addition, this will keep you motivated to workout.
To get you started right away, I will share with you one of the best fat burning exercises. In addition to this exercise being incredibly effective, it can be performed anywhere without the need for any equipment. It is also very time efficient. Just five minutes of this exercise can burn more fat than a 30 minute jogging workout!
The exercise that I'm referring to is the Advanced Burpee. Since technique is of the utmost importance when performing this exercise, I will describe to you in detail how to properly execute the Advanced Burpee. Below, I will break down the movement into four simple steps:
1) Stand with a shoulder width stance. Squat down and put your hands on the ground in front of your feet.
2) Now, quickly kick your feet back and lower your chest and hips to the ground. This move will essentially put you in the bottom position of a push up.
3) Then, forcefully push your chest away from the floor while simultaneously thrusting your legs back up towards your hands while leaving your hands on the floor.
4) Finish the movement by quickly jumping up in the air. Without hesitation, drop back down into the squat position and continue for the prescribed number of reps.
You can integrate this exercise into your routine in many different ways. Explaining all of the program design options is beyond the scope of this article. I will, however, provide you with one simple option, so you can get started immediately.
Set a stopwatch for five minutes. Perform as many quality Advanced Burpees as you can during the five minute period. Push yourself. After the five minutes is over, write how many reps you performed. Then every time you repeat this workout, exceed the number of reps you completed during the prior training session.
Continue this pattern until no more progress can be made. Once this point is reached, it's time to change your workout.
You now have a very effective fat burning routine that utilizes one of the best fat loss exercises. Even better, it takes only five short minutes to perform. Be sure to challenge yourself! Your results will speak for themselves.
