So, let me show you some of the highest calorie torching /fat burning exercises that will get YOU ready for summer and tone you up!
Turn your regular CARDIO into a fat melting 💥 muscle toning 💪 workout!
BIKE RIDE . (500 calories burned in 35 minutes) This can be done inside or outside, but if you go outside you will get the best fat burning workout if there are hills. Also, I suggest bringing a sports bag with sunscreen (this is my favorite sunscreen) and take your cell phone too in case of an emergency! Break up your bike movements with approximately 3 minute intervals. Starting with : 1. warm up 2. standing climb (booty off the seat) 3. seated climb (hills preferred) 4. standing climb 5. seated climb (hills preferred) 6. sprints 7. standing climb 8. seated climb (hills preferred) 9. sprint 10. standing climb 11. sprint
KETTLEBELL SWING . (500 calories burned in 30 minutes) The kettlebell is an awesome piece of equipment to burn excess fat while toning your body. Do each move for about 2 minutes. 1. warm up first with kettelbell double swing, holding the bell with both hands and feet hip width apart, knees slightly bent, bring the bell between your legs and swing up to chest level and return, keeping your core tight the entire time. 2. jumping jacks 3. single arm kettle bell swing 4. running in place with high knees 5. double arm swing 6. jumping jacks 7. single arm swings Repeat the entire set.
STAIR CLIMBING . (500 calories burned in 40 minutes) You can do this workout inside on a stair climber, inside stairs or even go outside and enjoy the nice weather if you have a place with stairs, maybe a hotel, school bleachers, office building, etc. If you are outside, make sure you bring your insulated water bottle to keep you hydrated and cool! Do each move for about 2 minutes . 1. warm up with easy climb 2. increase to moderate level intensity climb 3. go as fast as you can climb 4. slow pace climb for recovery 5. walking lunges 6. moderate level climb 7. high level climb 8. walking lunges 9. moderate level climb 10. high level climb 10. walking lunges. Repeat the entire set.
SWIMMING . (500 calories burned in 45 minutes) If you have access to a pool , I highly recommend taking your workout to the water. Grab a kick board and get ready to kick away the fat and tone your arms, abs and legs. Don’t forget sunscreen and good polarized sunglasses! 😎 Do each interval holding the kick board when doing laps and for about 5 minutes. 1. frog kick 2. flutter kick 3. kick as hard as you can, any stroke 4. slow recovery kicks 5. run in place with high knees 6. frog kick as fast as you can 7. flutter kicks 8. kick as hard as you can, any stroke 9. slow recovery kicks (Coming soon for summer is my FitFabForever pool workouts🌊 , you won’t believe the workout you will get with just a few pieces of equipment in the water . . . YOU will love it! 💗 )
