Burn Fat Faster

If you want to burn fat faster, try interval training.  Interval training takes you to another level in fitness, fat burning, endurance, power and strength.  Interval training is a combination of  a high-intensity movement/exercise with a short rest period.  For example you would perform as many burpees as possible for either 30 seconds with 10 seconds of rest for 8 sets or 60 seconds with 10 seconds of rest for 8 sets.  There are several high intensity exercises that you can perform in you HIIT workout.  Get yourself an Interval Timer, like the Gym Boss www.gymboss.com to help you stay on track.   Before starting any interval training be certain to stretch first!  I've listed a few exercises below to get you started:

1. Jog in Place
2. Jumping Jacks
3. Knee Kick
4. Burpees


Core
1. Crunch on Stability Ball
2. Plank

Upper Body

2. Chest Fly on Stability Ball w/dumbbells
3. Bicep Curl w/dumbbells
