Blow torch fat off your body in minimum time!




Blow torch fat off your body in minimum time!

You are about to get some of the most effective cardio at home workouts that are going to blow torch fat off your body in minimum time. In addition to losing fat at a record pace, these cardio at home workouts will allow you to spend less time exercising while getting better results than traditional cardio workouts that take at least twice as long to complete. And one more thing: you don't need a single piece of equipment. You will be using nothing but the best tool you already have - your bodyweight.

Before we get into the sample cardio at home workouts, we must first go over a few important principles so you understand exactly why these workouts are designed the way they are.

First off all, for the cardio workouts you will be performing bodyweight circuits. All this means is that you will be performing bodyweight exercises back to back with little to no rest between them. It has been proven by both research and real world examples that bodyweight circuits are more effective for burning fat than tradtional cardio methods. This means you will get more results in less time.

In addition to taking less time, the bodyweight circuits will not only cause you to burn off fat, but you will build lean muscle as well. That is something traditional cardio just can't do. Building lean muscle will elevate your metabolism and also allow you to develop a lean, athletic looking physique.

Second, you will be using compound exercises. These exercises will require you to use a lot of muscle mass at one time to perform a repetition. This, once again, will cause you to burn more calories during the workout itself, but you will keep burning calories for up to 36 hours after the workout is completed.

Okay, now that you have the necessary information about the cardio workouts, it's time to get right into them.

Cardio Workout #1


Advanced Burpees x 10 - 15
Inverted Rows with Palms up Grip x 10 - 15
One Leg Romanian Deadlift x 10 - 15 each leg
Close Grip Push ups x 10 - 15
Plank x 30 seconds
Jumping Jacks x 50 - 70

Go through that circuit performing each exercise right after the other. Your level of advancement will determine how many reps you perform for each exercise. The more advanced you are, the more reps you will perform for each exercise.

Instead of completing a specified number of circuits, you will complete as many circuits as possible in a set period of time. Example: 15-25 minutes. That may not seem like a long time, but I promise you that after 5 minutes into that workout, you will be a believer in the effectiveness of bodyweight circuits.

Cardio Workout #2


Squat Thrusts x 20 - 30
Door Pull ups x as many as possible (use a chair for assistance if you can't perform these on your own)
Handstand Push ups x 10 - 15 (put your feet on a chair to make this easier)
Bulgarian Split Squat x 10 -15 each leg
Reverse Crunches x 15 - 20
Squat Jumps x 10 - 15

Once again, perform the exercises one right after the other, and complete as many circuits as possible in 15-25 minutes.

Cardio Workout #3


Advanced Burpees

Yes, this workout requires only a single exercise, but it is a lot tougher than it looks. You can go about this workout one of two ways. First, complete as many advanced burpees as possible in a set period of time (i.e. 15 minutes), or complete a specified number of advanced burpees as fast as possible (i.e. 50 advanced burpees).

Those three cardio at home workouts are a guaranteed way to take your fat loss and body transformation goals to an entirely different level. You can perform three workouts per week on non-consecutive days alternating between the three.

To make sure you keep getting great results, make sure you improve your performance every workout. That means you should either complete more circuits in the same period of time, increase the number of reps performed for each exercise, or increase the duration of the circuits. This is imperative if you want to continue getting great results.

Dumbell Workouts For Rapid Fat Loss

Dumbell Workouts For Rapid Fat Loss


What would you say if I told you it was possible to lose fat at a rapid rate using only dumbbells and your body weight, all while spending less time working out?

Despite what you may think or have been told from magazines and websites, you can transform your body at a rapid rate and actually work out less.

The reason most people can't achieve rapid fat loss is because they don't work out properly. So, if you want to get the best results possible in the least amount of time and only use dumbbells and your bodyweight, you absolutely must follow a few simple, but highly effective, training tips. After you read the tips, you will get some sample dumbbell workouts that will produce rapid fat loss results.

Tip One for Rapid Fat Loss

Center your workouts around the best dumbbell and bodyweight exercises. This may seem like common sense, but most people do not use the best exercises. Most people only focus on isolation exercises to target "trouble spots" or areas that they think require special attention. For instance, when people want to trim and tone their stomach, they think the best exercise choices are crunches and other movements.

Well, if you want rapid fat loss, then those are not your best options. I know that sounds backwards, but I promise that those are not the best exercises to help you achieve your goals.

The best exercises for rapid fat loss (and to lose belly fat) are compound exercises that recruit the greatest amount of muscle mass at one time. Not only will these exercises allow you to burn a lot of calories while you work out, but you will elevate your fat burning metabolism for hours even after the workout is finished. That is the ultimate way to losing fat at a rapid pace.

Tip Two for Rapid Fat Loss

Use both high repetitions and low repetitions with your workouts. Most people think high repetitions with low weight is the best way to achieve fast fat loss once. Once again, this assumption is incorrect. To get the best results possible in the least amount of time, you absolutely must use lower repetitions (5-10 reps) with heavier weights and higher repetitions (11-20 reps) with lighter weight. Both ranges have their own benefits, and therefore you are better off using them both instead of just one.

Tip Three for Rapid Fat Loss

Use circuits to get more results in less time. Most people go about circuit training all wrong. They, once again, use the wrong exercises and train exclusively with high repetitions. If you use big, compound dumbbell and bodyweight exercises and perform them in circuit fashion, you will be well on your way to transforming your body in minimal time.

Rapid Fat Loss Dumbbell Workout 1

Repetitions: 6

Duration: 20-25 minutes


Lateral Dumbbell Step-ups
One Arm Dumbbell Push-Press
Chin-ups or Dumbbell Renegade Row
Inch Worm

Perform the exercises back-to-back and only rest as needed, but try to keep it to a minimum. Instead of completing a specific number of sets, your goal is to complete as many circuits as possible in 20-25 minutes. The next time you repeat the workout, complete more circuits in the same period of time.

Rapid Fat Loss Dumbbell Workout 2

Repetitions: 12

Duration: 20-25 minutes


Dumbbell Walking or Crossover Lunges
Parallel Bar Dips or Dumbbell Bench Press
Dumbbell Row with Neutral Grip
Reverse Crunches or Stability Ball Rollouts

Once again, perform the exercises back-to-back and only rest as needed. Complete as many circuits as possible in 20-25 minutes.

A great way to use these workouts is to train three days per week on non-consecutive days, and rotate between the two workouts.
For instance, you can workout on Monday with Workout 1, use Workout 2 on Wednesday, and finish the week with Workout 1 again on Friday. They next week you would start with Workout 2, etc.
