When you think about fat burning workouts, do you picture running/walking on a treadmill or elliptical and exercising for 45-60+ minutes? Well, if you do, you are completely wasting your time!
Long slow distance cardio workouts are ineffective for fat loss (unless your training to be a distance runner/biker), and not to mention extremely boring! So what are the best fat burning workouts for men and women? Number 1 quit thinking that you have to spend at least an hour or more a day in the gym. I recommend you cut down your fat burning workout program down to only 3 days per week, 45 minutes per session. That's it!
You are probably saying to yourself, 'how can I burn fat if I am cutting my workout days & times in half?' The answer is simple. You need to increase your effort and intensity. You get out of it, what you put into it and 'it' is exercise intensity! If you truly want to burn fat, you must stretch yourself outside of your comfort zone!
To build the ideal fat burning workout, you start with movement preparation or a movement based warm-up (NO standing & touching your toes!), followed by a fat torching resistance training supersets and finish with high intensity intervals.
Lets breakdown each component of the fat burning workout. First is the movement based warm-up. You will replace the useless bending over & touching your toes or treadmill warm-up with bodyweight movements like squats, lunges and push-ups. A good example would be to perform 10-12 repetitions of each back to back without rest, a light circuit. This is a better way to prepare your body for the fat burning "supersets" you'll do next.
