One Of The Best Ways To Burn Fat

By Pete Fry


There are many methods of burning fat, but one of the best is interval training! Interval training is made up of periods of effort and periods of rest. Workouts should be short and intense as this is way to get the best fat loss results!

Long slow cardio like jogging is commonly thought to be the best kind of training for fat loss but you have to do a lot of it before you see any results. Conversely, a quality interval workout can take only 15 minutes!

You can perform interval training in a number of ways and with a number of exercises and there are many good choices when it comes to fat loss. Sprinting, body weight exercises and resistance exercises are all good choices, but the more explosive movements are the best for fat loss.

Here's how to perform an interval workout - warm up fully and then do this for a total of 4 times - Sprint 200m, then rest for 1 minute 30 seconds.

Your sprints should be as fast as possible. Working out like this makes your muscles work hard and your body will produce a lot of lactic acid, which in turn can lead to great fat loss results. You can also use other exercises in an interval format and get great fat loss results. Burpees are a great choice for example.

Burpees are great exercise that challenge your whole body. To perform a burpee, start standing, then crouch down and get yourself into the bottom of a pressup position. Then stand back up as quickly as possible, jump, and clap you hands above you head as you do so.

Here's how to perform an interval workout using burpees...perform as many burpees as you can in 1 minute. Rest 60 - 120 seconds. Repeat 3 -5 times. But beware ! Burpees are evil so go easy if you've never done them before!

Interval workouts like this are a great way to burn fat as they focus your effort around high-intensity training, which is one of the great secrets of fat loss!
