Fat Burning Exercises

For a low cost, yet extremely effective fat loss workout, invest in a simple skipping rope! The following fat loss workout, takes no more than 20 minutes and will burn enough calories to keep you in great shape.

1. Warm up
   Skip at a moderate pace for two minutes to warm up your muscles. Your knees should be slightly bent and your feet and legs are together.
2. Walking lunges
   Step your left foot out, about three feet, until your left thigh is parallel to the ground and your right knee is almost touching the ground. Now step your right foot in beside your left foot then repeat on the other side. Do 12 lunges on each leg. These can be done with or without dumbbells, depending on your fitness level.
3. Skipping side to side
   For two minutes, skip from side to side at a moderate to high intensity. Again your knees should have a slight bend in them and keep your feet together, touching down at the same time on each side.
4. Push ups
   These can be done on your knees or your toes, depending on your strength. Do as many reps as you can until fatigue.
5. Alternate skipping
   Skip with alternate feet touching the ground, as though you were jogging on the spot. Do this for three minutes at a high intensity.
6. Alternate crunches
   Lying on your back, place your fingertips on your temples and bend your knees to a 90 degree angle. Straighten your left leg out while bringing your left elbow to your right knee. Draw your left knee back in and repeat on the other side. Repeat 12 times on each side.

Run through this fat loss workout three times in total with minimal rest time in between each exercise. You’re aiming to get your heart rate high for the entire routine for the best results.

This is an overall body workout that can be done anywhere, anytime, as long as you have your skipping rope with you! Make sure you stretch well at the end of this fat loss workout.
