If you are like most people, you go to the gym and spend hours on the cardio machines, then moving on to doing your strength training exercises. Well we are here to tell you that you are wasting your time! Body weight circuits are the key!
Not only do body weight circuits burn fat, but they help to boost your metabolism. By using body weight training, you are incorporating both interval and strength training all in one workout and your body will not only burn calories while you are doing your circuits, but long after you are done!
Bodyweight exercises also help to build and tone muscle, which helps not only to increase your metabolism, but also makes you look sexy!
You can do these circuits alone for a quick workout when you are short on time you can add one of the circuits after a strength training workout instead of intervals. Whichever way you choose to incorporate them into your fitness routine, you are going to be getting in a great workout and speed up your metabolism that will in turn help you to burn more fat.
Body Weight Circuit A
1 Leg Hip Extension x 20 (total)
Staggered Hand Push Up (Kneeling) x 12
Split Squat x 10 (each leg)
Ab Twist x 10 (each side)
Criss Cross Feet x 30
Repeat 4-6 times or until you have reached 20 minutes to complete this circuit.
Remember to STRETCH after each workout!
