Guilty of overeating during the holidays? Need a good calorie-burn? We tell you how to get fit at home - No Gym required!

 

Most people still perform endless amounts of low-intensity cardio and wonder why they aren't making the fat-loss progress they want.
Interval training burns more total calories while also increasing the body's ability to use fats as fuel for the rest of the day and night. In other words, you get a calorie-burning boost while at rest after interval training. This is something you don't get with lower-intensity exercising. Are you ready to make fat cry? Let’s go!

 

Workout routine:

Warm up:

10 Minutes Rope Skipping

 

Circuit:

30 seconds of each exercise

 

Beginner: 2 Rounds

Advanced: 3-4 Rounds

 

 

Burpees:

Starting position: Standing
–    Drop into a squat-like position with your hands on the floor.
–    Kick your feet back, while keeping your arms extended.
–    Return your feet from the push-up position to the squat-like position.
–    Jump as high as you can by also swinging your arms to gain lift.
–    Repeat this process as often as it is mentioned on your workout routine.

Push Up to Side Plank:

Starting position: Start in push-up position on the floor or on an exercise mat.
–    Perform a push-up and before reaching the top position shift your body on one side and raise the opposing side’s arm upwards. (Hold this position for some seconds)
