If you’re spending too much time working out then you are probably doing too much with the cardio machines. You might want to reclaim some of that time especially since it’s working against your fat loss goals. What I’m talking about is adding interval training you your strength workout. In fact, this is the best approach to fat loss, so you can get rid of the machines.

This is what you deserve: to get lean fast without having to waste your time in the gym. Besides losing weight faster, you are going to love being injury free, unlike many people who get hurt on the aerobic equipment.

Some of you are probably sad at the thought of missing your TV shows that you watch while on the treadmill. We can let you stay on the equipment and adjust your workout to get done twice as fast.

What I mean is that you should try the intervals on the machines by running hard for half a minute and then recover for a minute.

Make your plan a 5 minute warmup followed by six of those interval cycles and then end on a five minute cool down. If you’re looking for something to break up the boredom of the daily routine, I’ve got a few suggestions for working in some interval training.

These exercises will use a medicine ball and your body’s weight to burn fat.

Don’t rest between exercises and only do this cycle once. 1. Medicine ball wood choppers.

Do 20 seconds of wood choppers and then hold the ball over head for 10 seconds. Do this pair 8 times.

2. Squat thrusters.

Do your thrusts for 20 seconds and then get in pushup position for 10 seconds. Repeat this pair two times. 3. Running in place with high knees followed by pushup position.

Sprint for 20 seconds in place raising up your knees. Then spend 10 seconds in push up position. Do this part 8 times. 4. Squat thrusts. For two cycles, do 20 seconds of thrusters followed by 10 seconds in pushup position. So now you have two methods of cutting your workout time while burning more fat.
