20 Minute Workouts To Burn Fat

I cannot burn fat for you and reading this article, or others like it, without actually exercising won't help. It's time to start making baby steps towards better health. Quit with the excuses about how long exercising takes every day. In this article, I give several 20 minute workouts that are sure to burn fat in no time. Are you ready for the first step?

Quick 2 minute sets(supersets)

You don't think it is possible for you do exercise everday? Well we have the perfect workout for you. Supersets are for those of you in hurry. They should last around 2 minutes. There's no excuse for you not to take 2 minutes out of the day to try this.

Eventually, you want to work up to 20 minutes workout every day, but we will start small at first. You're going to do 10 sets of pushups or crunches. Alternate, but do not stop! When you do pushups, you rest your midsection, and while doing crunches, you rest your upper body.

When you are ready to start, begin with ten regular pushups, then 10 crunches. Follow this with 10 wide arm pushups and back to 10 crunches. End with 10 tricep pushups(hands close together) and finally 10 more crunches. This will get you sore, but that is what you want on the road to a toned body!

Alternate Leg and Ab supersets each day

Letting your muscles rest is important for toning them. Do pushups/crunches Monday, Wednesday and Friday, and a leg and ab superset on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. Do 20 squats, lunges an calf raises between crunching sets of 10. Now that you've mastered the super sets, lets start something else.

Walking/Running

Walk or run, depending on your current physical condition. If you can do both, alternating, this is also great. How far do you think you can walk/run in 20 minutes? I know you can do at least 1 mile, no problem, but challenge yourself. Time yourself and try to beat that time everyday, write it down if you must. Also if you have someone to run with, that will help to push each other.

More 20 Minute Workouts

The above methods will get you started, but you should diversify so you do not get bored. One of the best exercises is swimming. It tones every part of the body. Try doing a set of situps or pushups between laps. Other workout ideas are hiking, biking, band/resistance training, lifting weights, and any other physical sport you like to do.

Block out the negative thoughts that are stopping you from exercising. You just have to start small and work your way up or you will never get started.
