Amp It Up for Weightloss

LOOKING FOR WAYS TO AMP UP YOUR WEIGHTLOSS? 👍

HERE IS 7 PROVEN MOVES TO INCREASE FAT BURNING! 

YOU WILL REACH YOUR SUMMER SLIMDOWN GOALS EVEN FASTER!

Let me help YOU take away the excuses for not achieving your fitness goals!  Do YOU find yourself ever saying any of these comments:

⏰I don’t have time to workout – this workout is only 20 minutes!

🏋I don’t belong to a gym – no worries you can do this workout at home, park, beach, etc.

✈️I travel and don’t have room to take exercise equipment – perfect, you only need YOU!

☹️I can’t lose weight – this workout is a HIIT program, meaning high intensity interval training for fat burning.

NOW, this should answer most of your questions about why you are not getting into the shape you want.  You must take the time for yourself everyday, as this workout will only take 20 minutes (while babies are sleeping, kids doing activities, after work, in your hotel . . . anywhere, anytime) You’re off to a fabulous start to burning the fat and losing the weight you want . . . before summer too! ⛱

So Let’s Begin . . .

BURPEES: (I know you don’t like these, but they’re so great at burning calories.)

  1. Get into a plank position with hands below shoulders, legs straight and core tight.
  2. Jump your knees into your chest, take hands overhead and jump up extending your body straight into the air, then bring hands back to the ground and jump feet back into the plank position.

Do: 3 sets of 15 reps (beginner do 10 reps, advanced do 20 reps)

MOUNTAIN CLIMBERS: (The faster you bring your knees forward, a better burn.)

  1. Get into a plank position, bring left foot forward and bent knee, while keeping right foot back and straight.
  2. Quickly bring the right foot forward with a bent knee and left leg goes behind into a straight position, briskly alternate each foot forward like you are running in place, but make sure you keep your core tight and no sway back.

Do: 5 sets of 20 reps. (beginner do 15 reps, advanced do 25 reps.)

SKATERS: (Jump as far as you can both directions to accelerate the fat burning.)

  1. Get into a squatting position with knees bent, arms by your side and left foot slightly elevated off the ground.
  2. Jump like you are sliding (aka skating) to the left side, then bring the root foot together and then jump/skate to the right side.

Do: 5 sets of 20 reps (beginner do 3 sets of 20 reps, advanced do 5 sets of 30 reps)

SQUAT JUMPS: (This is an excellent booty burner and leg burner.)

  1. Bend your knees, keeping your booty back, your shoulders back and look forward.
  2. Explode into the air by jumping from your squat position to straight up and then return to squatting position.

Do: 3 sets of 10 reps (beginner do 5 reps, advanced do 15 reps)

HIGH KNEES: (The higher the knees and the higher the jump the more calories burned.)

  1. Stand straight up with core tight and shoulders back and bring left knee up towards chest.
  2. Quickly bring the right knee upwards and the left leg to the ground, alternating knees with each move.

Do: 3 sets of 30 reps (beginner do 20 reps, advanced do 40 reps)

PUSHUPS: (You can do this on the ground for greater difficulty or standing for an easier movement.)

  1. Get into a standing plank position with your body in a straight line and core tight. Place your hands on a railing of some sort and elevate to your toes.
  2. Keeping your core tight the entire time, lower your chest to the bar and then pushup coming back to a straightened plank position.

Do: 3 sets of 15 reps (beginner do 10 reps, advanced do 20 reps)

HILLS OR STAIRS: (OR Both, come on YOU can do it, you’re almost done!)

  1. Run or walk briskly up the hill and back down the hill.
  2. Run or step up briskly the stairs and back down the stairs.

Do: Run, Walk, Step for 3 minutes (beginner for 2 minutes, advanced do 5 minutes)
