Fat-Burning Bodyweight Workout
May 4, 2007
This is a routine that can be for everyone as a change of pace, but is really tailored to a beginner who’s overweight and needs to shed bodyfat fast.
Along with a proper eating plan; weight training, bodyweight circuit training and interval cardio should be in every weight loss program.
The bodyweight routine should be performed with no rest between exercises. After you complete a circuit – rest for 1-2 minutes and begin the new circuit. A total of 3-4 circuits should be performed. A more advanced trainer can do 5-6 circuits.
If you a deeply de-conditioned, perform one circuit and workup to three as your conditioning improves.
Hindu Squats (15-20 reps)
Jumping Jacks (30-40)
Step-ups (10 each)
Pushups (10)
Situps (10-15)
Prisoner Squats (15-20)
Pullups or Chins (5-10)
Notes: Add 2 days of weight training and 2-3 days of interval cardio to this bodyweight routine and you have a complete training regimen at your disposal.
Understand that to be successful in any weight training program – hard work is a must! Half-hearted effort does nothing for you. If you’re new to weight training or grossly out of shape, consult a physician first. End of disclaimer.
