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.

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.
