Exercises for Burning Fat
Looking for some quick exercises to burn the fat? I’ve got just the thing for you. The workouts I’m about to describe will burn away fat from the most important parts of your body. The great thing about these exercises is they require no extra equipment, personal trainers, etc. It really is within your reach to exercise that fat away, it will just require some consistent work. To get best results, I strongly suggest you exercise for at least twenty minutes per day. I’ve put these exercises into four major groups: cardio, thighs/legs, upper body, and abdominals. I encourage you to spend a day on one, then move onto another the following day. Here are my top exercises, they’ll really melt that fat away:

Cardio
- Aerobic Exercise. Do these every day for maximum benefit. There are just so many to choose from: walking, jogging, swimming, bike riding, dancing, etc. There are just so many options, choose anything, but make sure it gets your heart rate pumping.
- Exercise at any Opportunity. Opportunity exercise is all about finding a way to exercise in the hustle and bustle of your everyday life. All you need to do is find a situation to exercises. Here are some examples: Walk to the local shop rather than driving, use the stairs rather than the elevator, jog rather than walk. Take whatever opportunities you can.
Legs/Thighs
- Raising your Calves. Being by standing on the balls of your feet and gently lower yourself back down. For extra burn and range of motion, stand on the edge of a step. This one really works those calves hard – enjoy!
- Standard exercises. Many of the exercises described above in the aerobic exercise section work well for your thighs and legs. My favourites are: running, riding your bike, rollerblade, walking, and most active sports - particularly those that require prolonged leg movement.

Upper Body
- Bear Walk. For this exercise, start by getting into the usual press-up position. Next, just walk around on your hands and feet! Yes you’ll look a little strange to the casual observer, but keep it up and you’ll really feel the burn. If you get back pain during this exercise, do not continue.
- Push-ups. An oldie but a goodie. Get into the press-up position with your elbows locked straight. Lower yourself by bending your elbows until your chest is close to the floor. Hold this position for just a moment. Gently raise up by pushing through the floor.
Abs Exercises
- Cruching. An exercise mat will work really well for this exercise. Start this one by lying down on your back, and bend your knees. Place your feet under an object so that don’t spring back up. Next, gently pivot upwards until your chest almost to touches your kness. Do the whole movement slowly and gently, don’t rush, it will make your abs work harder.
- The Bike Rider. To begin, just lie down on your back on the floor. While ensuring your back is presed firmly against the floor, place your knees up at around a forty five degree angle and start bike pedalling in the air. This one is great for your thighs as well.
The most important thing to keep in mind with all of these exercises is to just be consistent. It’s essential that you keep up with these fat burning exercises every single day. As human beings, it’s what we were designed to do. It really is possible for you to melt that fat away, it just requires consistency and also for you to enjoy yourself. Ask a friend to be involved, time will fly and you’ll be good motivation for one another. Most importantly, enjoy yourself!
