Fat is a big problem for many people. And most solutions to burn that fat involve lots of digging into the pockets for more money, often with poor results in the end, or time-consuming methods that cause many people to quit and try something else. You don’t need fancy expensive equipment to burn fat. You can burn fat just as easily in the privacy and comfort of your home as you can in the fanciest gyms with the most expensive equipment. All you really need is your own bodyweight for the fat burning exercises.

One of the best ways is to do interval training. This type of training for burning fat is done with things like running, swimming, biking, rowing, among other things. The important part is you do the intervals, meaning you exercise hard for about a minute and then at an easy pace for a minute or two, and switch from one to the other several times, followed by a cooling off period.

Bodyweight exercises are an excellent way to burn fat, again without buying a lot of fancy equipment. This includes exercises like pushups, chin-ups, pull-ups, squats, lunges, and the like. Bodyweight exercises have been used for centuries to burn fat with great success. And surprise! They still work great today.

The trick in using bodyweight fat burning exercises for the best results depends on knowing the proper way to use them. Knowing how many reps to do, not too many or too few. Do them in sets followed by rest periods, repeat a couple of times, then cool down. Alternating different exercises on different days to keep the muscles from getting bored with the same old routine. Know your limits, start slow and gradually work your way up to high intensity exercise workouts over time. Change to different groups every four weeks or so to exercise and develop different parts of the body and slowly sculpture it into a masterpiece with much less fat and more muscle.

Cardio is a Waste of Time for Fat Loss

While the mainstream fitness media still insists that aerobic exercise is a great way to lose weight, Turbulence Training users know that interval training is the better way to burn body fat.

Still not convinced?

A recent study published by the North American Association for the Study of Obesity, subjects aged 40 to 75 were instructed to do 60 minutes of aerobic exercise per day for 6 days per week for an entire year.

Given the amount of exercise, you’d expect weight losses of 20, 30 pounds, or more, right?

Well, the surprise findings showed the average fat loss for female subjects was only 4 pounds for the entire year, while men lost 6.6 pounds of fat over the year. That’s over 300 hours of aerobic exercise just to lose a measly 6 pounds of blubber. Not time well spent, in my opinion.

So what’s the better way? Stick with Turbulence Training, using interval training and strength training to get better bodysculpting results. With intervals, you’ll achieve more fat burning results in less workout time.

The next time you are out exercising, perform a session of interval training. If you are walking or running outside, find an incline that can challenge you for 60 seconds, then walk down for 60-120 seconds, and repeat up to 6 times.

If you walk or run on a treadmill, adjust the incline or speed to safely increase the challenge for 60 seconds, then return to the normal pace for 60-120 seconds, and repeat up to 6 times.

You can also use a rowing machine, bicycle or stationary bike, or even an elliptical machine to do intervals.

But whatever you do, stay away from boring, ineffective cardio exercise workouts and stick with Turbulence Training for your fat burning program.
