A Cardio Workout You Can Use to Burn Fat Faster

My cardio workout today was short but tough. If you’ve been reading this blog or are subscribed to my fitness newsletter you know I’m a big believer in high intensity interval training.

HIIT is a great way to burn fat faster and do it in less time.

With hitt, no one can use the excuse that they don’t have the time to workout.

To prove it, here’s an example of today’s cardio workout that I did at home without any exercise equipment.

I first warmed up by doing a few minutes of easy body weight squats and jumping jacks.

Then I jumped right into my cardio workout as follows:

Jumping Jacks
Plank
Mountain Climbers
Side Hops (hop side to side over a dumbbell – you can use anything to jump over)
Sprint in Place (I hold my hands out and make sure me knees touch them each time)
Body Weight Squats
Burpee
Stationary Reverse Lunge

I performed this routine by going all out (yes, 100% effort) on each exercise for 15 seconds. I would then take a 15 second break before doing the same on the next exercise.

This had me complete the above cycle in 4 minutes. I then took a two minute break and repeated the exact cycle listed above.

Another 2 minute break followed and I performed a third cycle as follows:

Jumping Jacks
Crunches
Body Weight Squats
Reverse Lunges
Leg Raise
Sprint in Place
Plank
Side Hop

Including warm up this entire routine took me 20 minutes, at home, no exercise equipment, and it was brutal.

Stop using lack of time or equipment as an excuse to miss out on a fitness program. You can ALWAYS do SOMETHING!
