Hi Everyone,
You've heard it a million times from people trying to burn fat, "I just don't have time to get to the gym." Well that really shouldn't be a problem once you understand how you can get a proper fat burning workout done with basic or minimal equipment or even no equipment at all.
In order to get a great high intensity fat burning workout, like students of mine get....one that stimulates the growth of lean muscle tissue, accelerates your metabolism and fat burning, and provides cardiovascular conditioning...you need to perform a variety of exercises that work all of your major muscle groups in the same workout.
You have a few choices in what equipment to use. But I am here to tell you that you don't need fancy equipment or a membership at the hot fitness center in your area. All that is really required for your fat burning workout is good old-fashioned barbells and/or dumbbells...or less. In fact, you can work your entire body from head to toe with a good set of adjustable dumbbells and a simple bench.
Keep this in your home and it takes very little space and is always accessible for those fat burning workouts you'd have to skip otherwise. After all, the proper workout I'm talking about
averages about 15-20 minutes...but if you factor in the transit time to and from the gym, it can become more difficult to stick to your routine.
I highly recommend getting a basic setup at home for those times, or you can even use this exclusively. I personally always workout at home and it has its advantages. You don't have to wait for the next station or machine on your routine at home. This is very important in relation to pulling the maximum cardiovascular benefits out of the same muscle building and fat burning
workout...keeping your time between exercises down to 60 seconds or less.
Home workouts are also great for those that might be a bit intimidated by working out with weights in public at the gym. If you feel this way, don't fret, you're not alone. This is especially true for some of the ladies, as weight training is traditionally thought of as the guy's territory in the fitness center. Nothing could be further from the truth, but if you'd rather perform you fat burning workout at home, then do it!
Another excuse for skipping workouts that I hear a lot is related to travel. For busy people, this is a reality. You go on business trips. You go on vacation. You go to visit out of town friends
and family. Now, when working out properly, like I teach my students, you're only exercising for 2-3 days per week, but if you're workout day falls on a day when you're out of town, what to do?
Yeah, you could try and find a local gym to go to, but that can be a hassle. There are actually several fat burning bodyweight exercises you can do without the use of any equipment.
Movements like the push up, chin-ups, sit-ups, etc. can provide enough muscle stimulation to keep you conditioned until you get back home. You're using your bodyweight as the resistance, rather than dumbbells, barbells, or machines. You can do stand up slant pushups against the wall of your hotel room, just find and empty wall and step back a few inches from the wall so you can use the wall for support as you do standing incline push ups...so simple yet so effective.
So don't let those standard excuses work their way into your vocabulary...you can get a great fat burning workout wherever you are, anytime!
