Everyone needs a way to make the most out of limited time, especially during the holidays. If you have as little as twelve minutes to spare, you can burn fat and keep making progress toward your goals. This is going to require an intense routine using body weight exercises and dumbbells. Making sure that there are no pauses between activities is essential.

After completing each sequence, you can rest for a minute. Start with the pushup with your hands closed for 30 seconds.

Be sure to keep your elbows in and do as many pushups as you can. Next, do the single arm dumbbell swing for 30 seconds.

This is done by holding a dumbbell in one hand while keeping both knees bent at a small angle.

Lower the weight between your legs and then use your hips to help power it to shoulder height. Repeat these for 30 seconds and then switch hands.

After that, do normal pushups for a half minute and then complete the sequence with 2 arm dumbbell swings.

When complete, rest for a minute and then repeat. Start by doing Split Squats. Stand on one foot and put the other foot behind you on the bench.

Lower your body until your trailing knee as near to the floor as possible.

You will experience a stretching feeling as you do this.

Next do some leg curls with a stability ball. Lie on the floor and lift the ball between your legs as high as you can.

Without taking a break, change to push up position with your elbows on the ball. Stay in this position while bracing your abdominals. Now you have two sequences that you can do in a short time to keep that fat off your body.
