The Most Effective Fat Burning And Muscle Building
by Jesse Cannone
http://www.guaranteed-weightloss.com
Most people who want to burn off some excess pounds and
tighten and tone their bodies simply don't have 2 hours
each day to spend in the gym performing the bodybuilding
style workouts that most "fitness experts" recommend.
Plus, these workouts consist of exercises and techniques
that do not exercise the body in the way it is normally
used so they end up building a somewhat unusable strength.
In my opinion, most people, unless their main objective is
body building, shouldn't perform the traditional style
workouts
While I do still believe that machine and free weight
strength training is the best choice for body building, it
is NOT the best choice when it comes to general fitness
goals like strength, flexibility, endurance, etc.
I don't know about you, but I can barely fit in 15 minutes
for exercise let alone 2 hours~ and I personally am not
interested in muscle size alone (which doesn't mean
strength and usually leaves you stiff and inflexible)! I'm
sure your schedule is probably the same. The good news
though is you don't have to~ you can burn fat, increase
flexibility, build unbelievable strength and endurance,
reshape your body, and build a level of fitness that is
truly functional.
I want to share with you a workout that I do personally
that delivers a great combination of strength, flexibility,
cardio and muscular endurance, and fat burning.
WARNING: The following workout will not only surprise you,
but it will likely go against everything you ever thought
to be true about fitness. Also, it is recommend you consult
your physician before beginning any exercise program.
Are you ready? Good, here it is:
The following exercises should be performed with little or
no rest between and you may need to adjust the number of
repetitions or time depending upon your current fitness
level.
Jumping Jacks ~1 minute
Bodyweight squat (one-leg squat for advanced) ~ 15-20 reps
Push-ups (slower reps for advanced) ~ as many reps as
possible
Kick butts (jog in place and kick your rear with both
heels) ~ 1 minute
Hamstring floor bridge (use swiss ball or one leg for
advanced) - 15-20 reps
Superman (lying on stomach w/ arms out to side, lift legs
and chest off floor) ~ 15-20 reps
High knees (jog in place lifting knees as high as
possible) ~ 1 minute
Stationary lunge ~ 15-20 reps
Torso rotations/twists ~ 20 reps each direction
Side bends/reaches ~ 20 reps each direction
Mountain climbers ~ 1 minute (if you can J)
Wall sit ~ as long as you can hold it
Dips (use chair/bench/stairs) ~ as many reps as possible
There you have it.. sounds easy, right? That couldn't
possibly do anything, right? I personally challenge you~
try it~ no, try it right now! Drop what you are doing and
give it a shot and see for yourself. If you find it a bit
easy, which I doubt, perform it 2-3 times thru without rest.
This workout will deliver more usable fitness results and
benefits than any traditional gym or health club workout.
Now, you can of course implement this type of workout in
the gym and make it even better, but the beauty of this is
you can do it anywhere!
Also, this is just one example and as you can imagine,
there thousands of other exercises you can add or replace~
I actually recommend switching the exercises every 2-4
weeks or even better is to put together 3 or 4 different
workouts and then rotate them.
If you are not familiar with one of the exercises just
replace it with one you know that works the same part of
the body. You can also learn all of these exercises along
with dozens of others in my soon to be released video which
will consists of several workouts like this that you can do
anywhere to build and maintain awesome levels of fitness,
even workouts with dumbbells, swiss balls, medicine balls,
and more~ watch for it in coming months.
