What’s the magic number when it comes to fat burning? Craig Ballantyne lays out a workout for those fighting the battle of the bulge.  In this bodyweight workout you will do 360 repetitions using 8 different exercises with zero rest in between. Once you have made your way through the entire circuit, you will rest one minute and then repeat up to two more times. The Perfect No-Equipment Replacement For Interval Training This workout is also very flexible in that you can use it as a form of interval training, as an off-day workout or wherever you feel it will fit in best with your current workout program. To start out, begin with running in place with high knees. This is a great exercise because it's so simple and it's easy to use as an interval training type of exercise that you can do at home, just by running in place. For this exercise, do 40 reps and be sure to get your knees up nice and high and your arms driving up and down. This is actually safer than sprinting outside because you don't have that reach forward with each step, so your hamstrings aren't going to get injured. Fancy Push-Up For Total Torso Training Once you've done all your reps for the first exercise, immediately go into a walking offset push-up. For this, you will get into push-up position and place your hands so that one hand is forward and the other is back. Now, perform a push-up, then reach forward with your back hand, perform another push-up, reach forward with your back hand, and repeat for 10 steps on each side so you are walking forward on your hands and toes. After the walking push-ups, you will do a front foot elevated split squat. Ideally, the step or object you’re elevating yourself with will be four to six inches off the ground. In this exercise place one foot forward on the object and one foot behind you. Next, drop straight down and then drive up using only your lead leg to bring your body back up. You will repeat this for 20 reps on one side and then switch to the other side. |
