One Of The Best Ways To Burn Fat

By Pete Fry


There are many ways to burn fat, but interval training is definitely one of the best! Interval training is basically periods of work followed by periods of rest. Interval workouts are typically short, sharp and intense, and its this intensity that brings the 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!

There are many approaches to interval training - you can run, use bodyweight exercises like squats and even dumbbell exercises. What more important though, is the intensity - the more intense the better, and the more explosive your exercises, the better.

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!

Using interval training is a great way to burn fat as your body is working at high intensity - one of secrets to fat loss success!
