Fat Loss Tips.

If you have not yet tried circuit training, then you’re missing out on a lot of fat burning! Most workouts focus on how many calories you burning DURING your workout. Circuit Training helps you raise your metabolic rate so you burn calories not only DURING your workout, but AFTER your workout as well.

Your Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) is a measure of how many calories you burn during rest. Individuals who are naturally lean often have very high metabolic rates. This is why some people can eat a lot of calories without gaining any fat.

I usually combine body weight and dumbbell exercises. For some reason, combining these two types of exercises has given me better results that performing body weight alone, or dumbbell alone.

There are many different techniques you can use to raise your metabolic rate. However, the best method is circuit training. Circuit Training is where you choose three or more exercises and perform them back to back with little to no rest in between each set.

Let me show you a sample workout so you can figure out how to set up your own sample bodyweight and dumbbell fitness circuit:

Perform 7 rounds of:

• Dumbbell Front Squat – See Saw Press, 10 repetitions
• Body weight Rear Lunge, 10 repetitions
• Dumbbell Bent Press, 10 repetitions
• Rest 30 seconds

With this workout, you start with the Dumbbell Front Squat – See Saw Press. Perform 10 repetitions and move immediately onto Body weight Rear Lunges. Perform 10 repetitions with each leg, and finish the circuit with Dumbbell Bent Press.

Take 30 seconds to catch your breath and repeat the circuit another 6 times, for a total of 7 circuits. If you move through this workout fast enough, it should not take you more than 20 minutes.
