Losing weight can be fun (and easy) with these workout tips to burn fat faster
by Craig Ballantyne, Men's Health Fitness Advisor, Personal Trainer -
Forget about cardio, machines, and aerobics classes.
Weight loss workouts
have come a long way in the last 10 years to help men and women burn
fat faster than ever. We’ve gone from boring, ineffective, long cardio
workouts to finally using interval training to lose fat and slash your
workout time in half.
I’ve also discovered the fat burning secrets of resistance training and bodyweight exercises
to help you lose fat at home without expensive or fancy machines. Heck,
you don’t even need a gym membership any more to burn fat effectively.
But there are even more and better
ways of burning fat that you might not know about. So here’s Part 1 of
the top 7 hottest trends to burn fat this year.
1) Competition & Challenge-Type Workouts Will Be Found in More Fat Loss Programs
The popular 300 challenge workout
revolutionized fat burning programs because it introduced a new method
internal motivation. By adding some form a challenge workout to your
program – such as a workout you try to complete faster and faster each
week – you’ll have a better chance of sticking to your program.
In addition to the 300 workout,
you could also try one of my Bodyweight 500 workouts, or create your
own challenge workout. You could even just try to run a greater distance
in 20 minutes each week. Just make sure to switch up your challenge
workout every 4 weeks. Challenge yourself and you’ll find this to be a
powerful motivational tool to keep your fat loss progress going.
2) We’ll Return to Working Out with a Partner or in a Group for Social Support
In the past few years, many folks
started exercising at home by themselves, but there is actually a good
reason to invite a friend over for a workout or to exercise in groups.
Research shows that if you workout with a partner
who is losing weight, you have a better chance of losing weight
yourself. If you are working out by yourself right now and not getting
the results you want, then recruit a partner to exercise with you (but
make sure you know they will stick with the program and succeed). This
could mean that you try to workout regularly with a friend, family
member, or spouse.
Bootcamp workouts
are also going to be hot, hot, hot as time goes on, as more and more
people prefer this motivating, economical way to work out with a trainer
while getting social support from a dozen or so other men and women
with the same goals. This will also expose you to more success stories
and people who can give you tips and support to burn fat.
Plus, bootcamp workouts don’t use
machines or long cardio exercise, so they must rely on bodyweight
exercises and interval training, which you discovered in recent years to
work really fast for fat loss. The combination of intervals, bodyweight
exercises, and social support are going to help a lot of folks burn fat
successfully this year.
3) More and More People Will Start Training Like an Athlete to Burn Fat
Bootcamp training leads perfectly
into our next hot tip. This year, you’ll see more and more trainers and
fitness magazines showing people how to exercise like a power athlete to
burn fat. However, there is a right way and a wrong way to do this.
Just like any fat loss program, the
“train like an athlete to burn fat” workouts must be intelligent and
professionally designed. After all, it’s sad to see folks doing jumps on
concrete, or doing athletic exercises in the wrong order that could
lead to injury. That’s not smart athletic training.
When doing a “Fat Burning Athlete
Workout”, your program must follow a specific order. You’ll start with a
total body warm-up with bodyweight exercises, such as
prisoner squats, lunges, pushups, spiderman climbs, planks, and even
exercises like hurdle walks, high knees, skipping, inchworms, and
walking hamstring stretches.
The correct time to do power exercises,
such as jumping or agility drills, is right after your thorough warm-up
because you are fresh, not fatigued. This will help you perform jumps
and short sprints (or exercises like cleans, kettlebell
snatches or medicine ball throws) with maximum effort and proper form.
Power exercises should not be done after interval training or any other
type of exhaustive exercise.
Following power exercises, an athletic fat burning workout
would spent a short amount of time on essential strength exercises,
such as squats, upper body exercises (pushing and pulling), and
single-leg exercises. This could be followed by strength-endurance
exercises if needed, such as high-repetition bodyweight exercises.
Finally, the athletic fat burning
program would end with interval training for conditioning and fat loss.
This will exhaust your energy stores and you’ll finish with static
stretching. These workouts are fun, fast, and effective, and also more
applicable to daily living than spending an hour on a cardio machine.
Working out like an athlete will give you the best looking, and best performing body that you’ve ever had!
In Part 2 of the 7 hottest trends
for fat loss (article coming soon), you’ll learn about training for
personal bests, alternative interval training workouts, the secret to
success of the new generation of transformation contests, and the truth
