Fat Burning Cardio Workout

A good fat burning cardio workout is a short and intense cardio workout! Long, slow cardio sessions wastes time and eats away at your muscle mass. Short, intense cardio sessions also burn more fat and calories during and after your workout!

I'm talking about interval cardio sessions that are 20 minutes or less! If your cardio sessions are 45 minutes to 1 hour, stop doing your cardio that way! You will attain more weight loss and fat loss sooner with short, intense cardio sessions.

Here is a great interval cardio session:

--Jump rope, fast, 1 minute
--Walk 1 minute
--Squat-to-Curl-to-Shoulder Press, 10 repetitions, moderate pace
--Walk 1 minute
--Jumping Jacks, fast, 1 minute
--Walk 1 minute
--Step Ups, 10 repetitions each leg, moderate pace
--Walk 1 minute
--Bodyweight Jump Squats, fast, 15 seconds
--Walk 1 minute

Repeat this circuit 1 more time.

If you don't like these types of exercises, then pick exercises that you like. I know that jump squats won't work for those with knee or back problems. As long as you change it up and keep it interesting, you will will make progress!
