Tip 1: Work more than 1 muscle group - this works really well, like a hybrid exercise, and particularly on free-weight exercises.
When doing lunges, hold a set of dumbbells in your hands, as you step forward with the lunge also curl your arms up for a bicep curl.
This way you are not only working all the lower body for the lunge eg.
Quadriceps, hamstrings, glueteal, calf, you are also giving the biceps in the arms a workout as well.
Remember to alternate sides when performing this hybrid exercise.
In a squat you could also raise up on your toes after the squat to engage the calf muscle.
Be creative! Tip 2: Work a little harder - when working weight training, start to lift the intensity in your sets you can increase your reps, otherwise put up the weight and decrease the reps.
Ensure to maintain correct technique at all times and don't go beyond your limits but work hard.
Tip 3: Focus on large muscle groups - if you are pushed for time and need to cut out some exercises then leave out the small muscle groups such as the arms.
Focus on the large muscle groups being the legs, back and chest.
These muscle groups burn more calories and contribute to correct posture and are essential for everyday living and movement patterns.
Tip 4: Include high intensity cardio - Include a session on a bike, cross-trainer, treadmill or if you are at home go for a walk and add in the jog or run.
Aim for a work ratio of 1:1 how long you work hard is the same amount of time you recover.
Ensure to include a warm up before you start.
Focus your attention on reaching an intensity level close to your maximum heart rate.
Bikes are the greatest to use for interval training, however running is also good, just ensure you are already a competent runner so as to not cause any injuries.
OK you are ready to start saving some time on those fat burning workouts and ensure they get done and added into your daily lifestyle.
