30 Minutes of Fat Burning Activity

30 minutes of Activity is all you need.....

Here's a very simple rule of thumb when trying to burn more calories.

Calories in Vs Calories out...

Simple, right?

Burn more calories than you put into your body.

To do this you must have a great nutrition plan in place and you must also be active.

So here's what I did today.

Sledding. YUP did it again.

I used the same workout that I used last weekend but this time upped the intensity.

I put my son on my shoulders and walked up the hill each time.

Talk about putting your body through torture.

That was my activity today.

What was you’re activity today?

Even if you don't find yourself getting out of the house you can do simple workouts even while watching TV.

I have listed a routine below that takes about 20 to 30 minutes that you can use anytime.

Start with Static holds.

These are great for abs and overall muscle development.

1. 1 set of Leg holds. Get on your back and keep your head back. Put your legs out in front of you together and bring your heals 6 inches off the ground now hold it there for as long as you can. Great ab work. Repeat this 4x's

2. 1 set of leg raises. 15 reps. If you can't do all 15 at the same time then take small breaks until you work up to 15 reps. Stay in the same position as above but instead of holding these you will keep your legs straight out in front of you and raise them up in the air. Basically folding yourself like a jack knife.

3. 2 Set of pushups 10 reps a piece. For a tougher workout spread your hands out a bit further. These are Fly push ups. Again if you can't do all the pushups at the same time work your way up to them.

4. 2 Sets of Squats. 10 reps a piece. Put a chair out and use this as a guide. This is if you feel like you will fall backwards.

If you find yourself feeling good after the first time around with this workout then repeat it once or twice more for an even bigger burn.

This workout works the whole body, keeps you active and most important doesn't take long to do at all. No weights involved.

Give it a shot and let me know how it works out for you.

Until Next Time
