Easy Exercises To Burn Fat

Today I am going to give you a full body work-out routine which features 7 easy exercises to burn fat and increase your metabolism.

The following exercises are designed for all levels of fitness and should be performed at a high intensity for maximum benefit.

Each of the two grouped exercises should be performed one after another without a break. Rest for a minute between supersets (each paired exercise). Advanced users can perform 3 sets of each of the paired exercises resting for a minute between each one. Beginners perform each paired exercise on once. These easy exercises to burn fat can be incorporated into anyone's schedule and the whole routine can be completed in as little as 15-20 minutes.

1) Bodyweight Prisoner Squat
2) Pushup or Kneeling Pushup

To perform a bodyweight prisoner squat simply stand with your feet slightly more than shoulder width apart. Clasp your hands behind your head, elbows back and shoulder blades together. Then start the movement at the hip and push the hips back as though going to sit in a chair. Squat as deep as possible but keep your lower back tensed in a neutral position and do not round it. Push with your glutes, hamstrings and quads back to the start position.

For the push-ups remember to keep your abdominals braced and body straight at all times. Place your hands on the floor slightly wider than shoulder width and lower yourself down to within 2 inches of the ground. Push through your chest, shoulders and triceps and return to the start position.

Aim for 8-12 reps per set. Beginners should not use any added weight and should use the kneeling variety of pushup. More advanced users can add weight to the squat with dumbbells and perform the regular, or even decline pushup (feet raised higher than hands).

3) Split Squat
4) Mountain Climber

To perform a split squat, or lunge as they are often referred, stand with your feet shoulder width apart. Take a slightly larger than normal forward step with your right leg and press the front of your left foot into the ground. Both legs should now be bent. Contract your glutes, brace your abs and keep your back in a neutral position. Lower your body until your right thigh is parallel to the ground keeping your upper body upright and lower back flat. Push to an upright position but remain in the split squat stance, don't step back. Perform all reps on one leg then switch. If you are a beginner you may use a wall for balance and advanced persons can add weight by using dumbbells. Do 8 repetitions per leg.

For the mountain climber get into a pushup position and brace your abs. Maintain this throughout the exercise. Lift one foot off the ground and bring your knee to your chest. Touch the foot to the floor and slowly return to the start position. Keep alternating sides and repeat 12 times each side.

5) Step-up
6) Close-grip Pushup

For the step-up stand in front of a bench, or indeed a large step and place one foot on the bench whilst the other is on the floor. With your abs braced and glutes squeezed push through the bench foot to lift yourself into a standing position on the bench. Lower your body carefully, pause briefly at the bottom and repeat. Complete all reps on one side before moving onto the other leg. Beginners should start on a low step, under 6 inches whilst advanced persons can start higher. Do 6-8 reps on each leg.

The close grip pushup almost the same as a normal pushup, except this time your hands are shoulder width apart, no wider. Keep your elbows tucked into your sides. This type of pushup will work the back of the arms more. Do 8-15 reps.

7) Burpees

Finish the workout with the classic Burpees exercise. Start in a pushup position then quickly jump into a squatting position. When you arrive in the squat jump quickly into the air bringing your knees as close to your chest as possible. Land the balls of your feet with your feet close together. Drop back into a squat and finally jump your feet back to the start position. Repeat this 8-12 times. Then finish by stretching any tight muscles.

This workout routine comprised of 7 easy exercises to burn fat is a great way to kick start some serious weight loss.

Down the page here I offer some insight into two programs that I use to maintain consistent fat-loss and keep my weight under control.

I hope this lens offered you some value and I would love to hear your feedback and results.

There are two programs that I specifically recommend, these are Turbulence Training and Fat Loss 4 Idiots.

I have used countless programs and these two are the ones that worked best for me. By following the guidelines laid out clearly and concisely within these two programs I have lost over 20 pounds of pure fat in under six months. Many others have lost far more.

Not only do these programs help you to lose that stubborn fat, they also show you techniques that allow you to keep that fat off permanently.

Both of the programs discussed here can be used in conjunction with one another and give you a template that you can conveniently mould into your own lifestyle.

I recommend them both highly and if you are serious about having the body and physique you've always dreamed of I urge you to check out their websites.

Turbulence Training is a fitness program and exercise program that uses a method of training know as 'supersets'.

These 'supersets' are designed to boost your metabolism and help your body burn more fat, quicker. A superset is comprised of two non-competing exercises, for example - you would complete a set of an upper-body exercise immediately followed by a lower body one.

These are relatively easy exercises to burn fat and in my opinion there is no better fitness program.

This training series was created by Craig Ballantyne, the world-renowned fitness trainer and contributor to several top health & fitness magazines such as 'Men's Health', 'Oxygen' and 'Muscle and Fitness Hers'. Turbulence Training is designed for men and women who are totally committed to changing the way they look and maximising their health.

The series features several 4-8 week programs for all levels of fitness. From beginners to intermediate through to advanced. The high intensity workouts to increase your metabolism and help your body burn fat even whilst you are sitting down.

I have used this program personally since June 2007 and can vouch for its superb quality and effectiveness. I live the Turbulence Training lifestyle all the time now and have achieved unbelievable results. I get people approaching me all the time asking what training routine I use and I always tell them to investigate this program.

Fat Loss 4 Idiots is based on a method called 'Calorie Shifting'.

'Calorie Shifting' means you constantly change what you eat therefore your body doesn't become used to any one routine. This results in your body's metabolism increasing and remaining high which helps to burn fat much faster than conventional diets.

The Fat Loss 4 Idiots package includes everything you need to maintain a constant fat-burning body and combined with some easy exercises to burn fat it works even better! There is a diet generator which enables you to generate your own personal diet menu online by adding your favorite foods which it then combines with healthy options which are rotated. Also available is a handbook offering more advice, tips and easy to follow information.

The fantastic thing about this plan is you get to eat much of your favourite food and never get bored because the diet is varied.

The menu that Fat Loss 4 Idiots provides is comprised of 4 meals a day - it's not like a conventional diet so you won't find yourself starving! Users can stick to this type of plan much easier than a normal 'diet' as it doesn't involve cutting out all of the foods you most enjoy or eating far too little calories!

This program has been used successfully by thousands of people, including me! The unanimous is that this method has worked like nothing else I have tried before - it truly is the best way to lose weight quickly and efficiently.
