Exercises Designed to Burn Fat

Lose love handles, burn belly fat, get a flat stomach

WITHOUT doing an “AB” workout

 

This week’s featured exercise: SQUAT – CURL – PRESS

 

The name says it all. A squat with a bicep curl and shoulder press. Why so many things at once? Well why not?

  • First, doing an exercise like this allows you to burn more calories in a shorter period of time.
  • Next, you are building more muscles groups at once. This exercise strengthens and tones your glutes (butt), quads (thighs), hamstrings (behind your legs), abs, biceps and delts (shoulders) all at once.
  • Finally, by working so many muscles at once, you increase your heartrate to levels comparable to high-intensity cardio. In other words, you get the benefits of a cardio workout and weight training workout with ONE exercise. Pretty impressive huh!? – I think so!

Which exercise do you think will burn more calories and help you get rid of your love handles – crunches that work ONLY ONE section of your abdominal muscles, or an exercise that blasts your glutes, quads, hamstrings, abs, arms and shoulders? – It’s not rocket science folks. Focus on exercises that work your major muscle groups? Leave the 1000 sit-ups and crunches for those who don’t want to listen.

What’s really good about this is that you don’t actually have to destroy your abs to get a flat stomach. In fact, doing any amount of ab exercises will do absolutely ZERO to help you get rid of belly fat. That’s because you needs to burn off the excess fat that lives ABOVE your abdominal wall. Doing exercises like the Squat, curl and press helps you burn a lot more calories in a shorter period of time.

Keep checking back as I’ll be posting more fat firing, stomach shredding, butt blasting exercises! (Alliterations are cool!)

Stay up!
