Training for Fat Loss

Are you looking for a quick and effective workout that shed those last pounds?

Training for fat loss does not mean spending countless, tiring hours in thegym. If you are training the right way it will take you less than 30 minutes per day. The most effective and efficient way to train for fat loss is to work in high intensity interval circuits. There are many different ways to structure the circuits and depending on your fitness levels, they can change from week to week.
The science behind any fat loss training program has three major aspects:
1. Mobilize, break down and release the stored fat from fat cells
2. Transport the free fatty acids to the skeletal muscles and liver
3. Oxidize- burn the free fatty acids for energy

That’s exactly what these high intensity workouts are designed to do. You are stimulating every single muscle in your body and the workouts require a large amount of energy, even though they are short.

Here are some of the major benefits in addition to promoting fat loss:
1. Incorporating every major muscle group in the body
2. It is the most efficient training style out there today
3. Increasing heart rate and recovery rate to improve overall conditioning levels
4. Increasing strength through body weight movements
5. Improving balance, posture, and mobility of all joints
6. Providing a great energy boost

This training session is designed in a 50 seconds to 10 seconds ratio. You will be working for 50 seconds with a 10 second rest in between exercises. There will be five exercises in the circuit and you will move from one to the next with your 10 second rest in between. You will then rest for 2 minutes and perform the circuit again. Rest for 2 minutes and complete a third circuit. Once your fitness levels improve, you can add a 4th and 5th circuit. Here are the exercises:
1. Mountain Climbers
2. Body Weight Squats
3. Push Ups (standard position or from the knees)
4. Reverse Lunges (alternate legs each repetition)
5. Basic Planks

The entire training session will take you 21 minutes, including rest times. Be sure to perform a dynamic warm up prior to exercise and also take about 5-7 minutes to stretch out after the training session has been completed.
