The Best Fat Loss Exercise?
By: John Alvino | Posted: 16th August 2008
I get asked all the time, "What is the best fat loss exercise?" In reality, there is no single "best fat loss exercise". Instead, you must have a database full of several extremely effective fat loss exercises. When you have many great exercises to choose from, you will eliminate mental boredom and physical staleness, and you will always keep your body challenged. This helps ensure continued progress, prevents overuse injuries and keeps you excited to workout.
That being said, I do have some favorites. I will now share with you one fat loss exercise that consistently sits on the top of my list. This exercise is particularly effective and can be performed anywhere without any equipment whatsoever. Even better, it is one of the most time efficient exercises you can do. When done properly, just a few quick minutes of this exercise can burn as much fat as biking for an entire hour!
The name of the exercise that I am referring to is the Advanced Burpee. Since most people perform this exercise incorrectly, I will explain how to do it in detail. Next, I will explain how to execute this movement properly in a step by step format.
1) Stand with a hip width stance. Squat down and put your hands on the ground slightly in front of your feet.
2) Next, jump back with your feet while lowering your chest to the ground. This step will put you in the bottom position of a push up.
3) Then, explosively push your chest away from the floor while simultaneously bringing your legs back up into the squat position with the hands still on the floor.
4) Finish the exercise by jumping up in the air as high as you can. Upon landing, drop back down into the squat position and continue for the desired number of reps.
There are many ways to integrate this exercise into your routine. Explaining all of the options is beyond the scope of this article. I will, however, give you one simple yet effective option that you can begin utilizing immediately.
Here is your routine: Perform as many Advanced Burpees as you possibly can during the five minute time period. Only high quality reps count. Pace yourself. Be sure to record the number of reps performed. Then the next time you repeat this workout, try to get more reps then you completed previously.
Continue this pattern until no further progress is possible. Once you reach this point, it's time to alter your workout.
You now have an extremely effective fat burning routine that utilizes one of the best fat burning exercises. Even better, it takes only five minutes to perform. Work hard and challenge yourself! You"ll be rewarded greatly for it.
