Busy Women Interval Fat Loss Training For Faster Fat Loss

Interval Fat Loss Training - 5 Ways To get Your Workouts done Faster.
Are You Ready to Achieve Your Goals and Get Into the Best Shape of Your Life?

Do you know the 2 biggest reasons men and women stop exercising?

1) Lack of time 2) Lack of motivation

Let's tackle "Lack of Time" today with 5 ways you can get your workouts done faster. After all, no one should spend more than 50 minutes in the gym.

Here are 5 ways to cut your workout time.

a) Supersets

I use "non-competing" superset. This means, choose two exercises for different muscle groups - and preferably completely opposite movements. For example, choose a push and a pull. That way, one muscle group rests while the other works...and you cut the rest time you need between sets.

b) Choose a better warmup strategy

Don't waste 10 minutes walking on the treadmill. Instead, use a total body circuit of bodyweight exercises as a general warmup, and then move directly into specific warm-up sets for your first two exercises.

c) Pair dumbbell and bodyweight exercises together in your supersets

This saves you time at home (you don't need to change the dumbbell weight between exercises) and in the gym (you don't need to fight for 2 sets of dumbbells).

d) Choose Intervals over slow cardio

The latest research shows more weight loss when people use intervals, and intervals take half as long to do.

e) Limit the use of isolation exercises

Pick multi-muscle exercises, such as squats, pulls, pushes, and rows. If you have time, you can squeeze in some dropsets for arms and shoulders if you want. However, if you only have 3 sessions of 45 minutes per week, isolation exercises must be the first to go.

In addition, don't spend more than 10 minutes per week on direct ab training. It's not efficient and won't give you rock hard abs alone.

Workout less, live life more,

2 New And Different Ab Exercises

Here are 2 superhero Spiderman ab exercises, a pair of unique bodyweight exercises you've probably never done before; Spiderman push-ups and Spiderman lunges/climbs.

For the Spiderman push-up, you want to start by getting into a regular push-up position. As you come down, bring your knee up to your elbow, back down, and then alternate sides.

To perform the Spiderman push-up exercise correctly, try to keep your body in a straight line and minimize the rotation in the hips. You should have good mobility in your hips which will allow you to do this exercise.

This is a very difficult push-up when done with proper form because when you bring your elbow to your knee you are going from 4 stabilizing points to only 3. Therefore, you are increasing the stress load on your body, as well as working your abdominals. A hard exercise to perform, the Spiderman push-up is a great total body exercise.

The Spiderman lunge or climb as it is more commonly known amongst my readers is another bodyweight exercise that has a tendency to cause confusion. To do this exercise, get into the top of the push-up position, keep your hips down, and bring one foot up right next to your hand. Return your foot to the original position and then alternate sides.

For beginners or those with poor flexibility, be careful not to overstretch in this exercise. For example, I would suggest to beginners to only bring your foot up half way, and as your mobility increases, slowly work your way to bringing your foot up right beside your hand. The purpose of the Spiderman climb is to keep your abs braced, and to work your abdominals for endurance.

So that is the Spiderman push-up and the Spiderman lunge, the two superhero bodyweight exercises.
