Are you having trouble finding time to fit a fat burning workout into your busy life? Are you constantly skipping fat loss workouts because of work and family commitments?
If so, you will want to take a look at the workout program in this article.
I have been using the proven and effective Turbulence Training Program for over a year now, and what I love most about it is the incredible variety of workouts Craig Ballantyne has assembled. The variety has allowed me to put together a modified body weight workout that I can do if life gets in the way of me getting to the gym. It is a circuit of five body weight exercises, followed by a 20/10 Tabata Interval Workout. If I warm-up quickly, I can do this routine in 20 minutes, and it really gets my heart rate up, and burns a lot of fat fast.
So no more excuses! If you cannot make it to the gym, you can still work out and burn fat.
Here is my basic fat loss philosophy:
Intermittent fasting to create a slight caloric deficit and to decrease insulin levels to slow down fat storage.
Superset resistance training to increase HGH levels which burn fat and build lean muscle.
Interval Cardio to force fat burning during and after the workout.
So, based on this philosophy, here is the workout I use when I cannot get to the gym because life gets too hectic.
Body weight exercise for warm-up. 5 minutes
5 exercise circuit. Each exercise is done one after the other with a 1 minute rest at the end of the circuit. Repeat up to 2 times, for no more than 3 rounds.
12 pushups
12 Bulgarian Split Squats (use a chair if at home)
12 Stick-ups
12 single leg dead lifts
30 Mountain Climbers (30 reps each leg)
Tabata. 20 seconds of jumping jacks followed by 10 seconds of rest. Do eight rounds. You can also make it harder by doing dumbbell or kettlebell swings instead of jumping jacks. Or, side jumps. Or anything else you can think of that will get your heart rate up. Use your best judgement.
Stretch and cool down.
So if life gets too hectic do not fear. You can still get a great fat burning workout in without going to the gym.
