5 Fat Blasters For Busy People

One of the biggest reasons most people cannot reach their fitness goals is because they struggle to find time in their busy schedule. They assume if they don't have an hour or more to workout then it's not worth it and they give up. I believe that anything worth doing can be done in a reasonable amount of time and can still deliver great benefits over the long haul. WHY? Because what's more important isn't getting an hour long workout in when you can, but instead being consistent every single day with good habits that don't have to take massive amounts of time. How about 10 minutes? Anyone can afford to spend 10 minutes!

Here are 5 exercises you can do everyday for 10 minutes that will help you develop a fat burning lifestyle. Think of it as something you just do everyday like they way you eat and sleep... you do it without question because it's vital to your well-being. Adopt that kind of midset too about the following practice... Read the descriptions with the pictures below! :O)

First thing in the morning do these 5 exercises for 50 seconds each, resting for 10 seconds between each exercise. These exercises will shock your nervous system and jump start your metabolism at the start of each day! Great fat burners!

1. Free Squats... Start in a standing position. Imagine there's a bench behind you and you are trying to sit back into it. As you lower you bottom down keep the weight in your heels. As you stand back up feel a contraction in your glutes. Squeeze your glutes at the top. Repeat... for 50 seconds doing as many as you can with good form. Inhale down and exhale up. Try holding a dumbell to increase the intensity!

2. Traveling Planks... Get into a push-up position except come down to your elbows... keeping your hips low lift your right elbow and right leg and begin to move to the right allowing your left elbow and leg to follow... travel to the right for about 5 "steps" and then travel back to the left. Go as fast as you can for 50 seconds. Feel the strength of your core and upper body as you keep hips low and your upper back rounded... don't "wing up" in the shoulder blades.

3. Burpees... Remember these from junior high PE class? We also called them squat-thrusts. Start in a standing position, then bring hands to the floor as you jump your legs out behind you coming into a push-up position. Jump legs back under the hips and stand ending with a high jump at the top. These are a great all over body exercise and really works to get the heart rate pumped up!

4. Side Step Squat with Push Press... Start in standing position and step right leg out to the right as you sit back into a squat position. As you come back to standing kick your right leg in front of you over to the left... at the same time use a small dumbell or medicine ball and push it over your head as you kick to the left. Pull the weight down to the chest level on the way down. Repeat on the other side. Go 50 seconds on one side then 50 more seconds on the left. So it's squat down, kick over and press up at the same time. Repeat

5. Mountain Climbers... Get back into push-up position with hips low! Alternate hopping your right foot in toward your chest then the left foot... this is a quick movement with the lower body as you keep the upper body still and stable. Great again for core strength and all over fat burning.

At the end of this mini-workout your heart will be pumping and oxygen flowing not to mention great strength builders for just about every muscle group! If you have time go through all 5 exercises again 2 or three times for a total workout time of 20-30 minutes. OR try it again in the evening while you are watching TV... get your kids or spouce to do it with you... again as something you just plan to do everyday to develop fat burning lifestlyes.
