Fat Burning Exercise That Works Fast

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.

How to Gain Muscle & Lose Fat

Are you ready for my famous “gain muscle or lose fat” chart?

I know this is going to make a few people mad, but it’s the truth about whether a guy should lose fat or gain muscle. If he doesn’t stick to my recommendations, he won’t get the ripped abs and muscles he wants.

I often get scrawny guys asking me how to lose fat, when they have no muscle underneath the fat…they think they will look good if they “get ripped”, but in reality, will look like they are starving. They should focus on gaining muscle instead.

This is a harsh lesson in reality, but too many guys are trying to lose weight when the focus should be on gaining muscle.

In fact, through my experience in working with athletes and dozens of men in the gym trying to lose fat and gain muscle, I’ve come up with a height-weight chart that determines whether or not you should lose weight.

Here’s the chart identifying the cut-off weight for muscle building, and the rule below.

5’6″ – 140 pounds
5’7″ – 145 pounds
5’8″ – 150 pounds
5’9″ – 155 pounds
5’10 – 160 pounds

And so on. For every inch taller, add 5 pounds. For every inch shorter, subtract 5 pounds.

For example, if you are 5’8″, 150 pounds, you should NOT be focusing on losing weight. You need to gain muscle if you want to look good on the beach and have muscle. Focusing on weight loss would be the worst thing you could do. If you do, you’ll look like crap, and practically anorexic, to be blunt.

Instead, you must focus on gaining muscle. This will improve the appearance of your body, and take you from a stick-figure to a lean, muscular physique with a better chance of seeing your abs.

And don’t worry, you’re not going to look huge. At 5’8″, a guy would have to be at least 180 in order to be considered “jacked” or “huge”.

And the best news of all? Because skinny guys are untrained, simply starting a muscle building program will give them maximum fat loss and muscle gain at the same time. They are going to get the best of both worlds.

To use Turbulence Training to gain muscle and lose fat, simply stick to the weight training workouts only. Avoid the hard interval cardio for at least 4 weeks as you gain muscle, and eat extra calories right after your workout (as well as having a bigger breakfast than normal). These two changes will
allow you to gain muscle and lose fat.
