Fast Fat Burning Workout To Do At Home

If you want to lose belly fat, then you want to adopt a fat burning workout into your exercise program. Weight training, kettlebell exercises, bodyweight workouts should all be part of your fat burning workouts.

You can't just do a thousand sit ups or crunches and expect to lose stomach fat. Spot reduction is one of the great myths of fat loss, using light weights and doing countless ab specific exercises will not burn off your belly fat like many people would have you believe.

A good cardio routine will help burn calories all over. If it takes 3,500 calories to burn one pound, then you can try cutting back on about 500 calories of food consumption and doing a form of fat burning exercises that burns another 500 calories a day.

Here is a good circuit training fat burning workout to lose your stomach fat.

1a) Deadlifts

1b) Push-ups


2a) Clean And Press

2b) Mountain Climbers

Set a timer for 10 - 20 minutes (the time you chose is based on your conditioning level). Pick a weight (for the weight training exercises that you can do for 10 reps), start with exercise 1A do 5 reps, without resting (or as little rest as you need) do 5 reps of exercise 2b. Keep going back and forth this way till your time is up. Rest for 3-5 minutes do your other 2 exercises.

In a little over a week, you will have burned a pound – which is a safe amount of weight to lose per week.

Cardio attacks the fat cells right where they live – and you will soon see the effect in how your clothes fit. If that belly fat you are carrying bothers you, then just get moving!

When belly fat is the big problem in your life, it's crucial that you begin as soon as possible to get it off. Belly fat hinders the functionality of many of your organs – it's the most dangerous type of weight gain you can have. Not only being ugly to look at many studies have shown the health risks of having too much stomach fat.

Make sure you flush your system by drinking lots of water. If you drink a minimum of eight glasses of water per day, you will stay hydrated and help the body do its work that much more efficiently. Eat a clean diet stay away from processed foods, spread out your meals (5-6) throughout the day. You'll experience fat loss (specifically the loss of belly fat) and enjoy a more energetic lifestyle, too!

Now I have only just touched on the subject of healthy eating here. Make no mistake all the fat burning exercises and workouts in the world will not get rid of your belly fat without a diet of eating healthy. Doing extra workouts while continuing to eat all the processed junk food that is all too prevalent today will not help you lose belly fat.

When we talk about stomach fat we are not just talking about looks here. There are very serious health issues that go along with too much stomach fat. We too often get hung up on how it looks, but what we don't think enough about is how having too much fat affects our overall health. Doing some fat burning exercise daily will take you along way to reaching your fat loss goals.
