Fat Burning Workout for 15 Minutes or Less

No time for gym? Well here are some exercises that will help burn your fats right at your very own home. This circuit workout will tone and tighten up your body in 15 minutes or less as it combines cardio and strength training.

Here's the workout:

1. squats - 30 seconds

2. push-ups - 30 seconds

3. jumping jacks - 30 seconds

4. burpees - 30 seconds

5. jumping lunges - 30 seconds

6. v-crunches - 30 seconds


By performing each exercise for 30 seconds of high intensity, you max yourself out hard thus burning more. Your aim is to perform as many reps as possible during the 30 second time frame. After finishing the first exercise, if possible, go to the next exercise without rest, but if you can't, you may rest for 10 seconds in between before going for the next.

After you finish the six exercises, rest for one to two minutes then hit it up again. Do 3-5 sets. Do some warm ups first and stretch before doing this circuit workout or any other workout. If you have some heart ailments, doing high intensity isn't right for you. Consult your doctor if you can do circuit training. Always remember to be safe.

High intensity interval training (HIIT) is an effective way to bodyfat loss. However not all can do all the provided exercise programs as others may struggle because of nagging injuries or soreness on joints or simply don’t have yet the strength and endurance to withstand this powerful workout.

Circuit training is very challenging but there are lots of ways to modify so if you’re one of those people who are struggling with HIIT, here is an altered program that suits you. The workout program can be done at home also. Take additional time to rest, do fewer sets or reps if having a hard time.

Well you can use the stairs instead of using the elevator if your office is just located on the 2nd or 3rd floor or even 4th to 5th. Walking on the stairs can burn up calories, imagine how many will you lose if you do it everyday. It's like doing an uphill climb, only it's indoors.
