If you think you’re doing a great job for yourself by working with aerobics, then you’re actually costing yourself more than you ever thought. By working with intervals and body mass routines you get the best available in fat-loss and weight-burning. You’ll be sculpting your body like a potter and you’ll feel great about it too. The benefits of routines that use the body’s weight are that every part of the body is addressed, including the abdominals. As 1000′s of people learn about the futility of traditional cardiovascular workouts, they are making the move to body mass sequences that are proven to be effective for fat burning.

In fact, it’s time for you to take the cardio out of your program and add to it body mass work that will give you your goals if you stay committed. You can even do body weight moves in addition to cardio if you want to, but you’ll soon make the change complete.

To get started with a body weight program, you should begin with the easiest moves. Once you get adjusted you can move on to more advanced drills that will give you even better results. Here is my guideline for making a series of body weight exercises. Do squats (complete warm up), lunges (stay at the low position to stretch key muscles), and push up (top half).

Once your warmin up is complete, I suggest six primary exercises that rotate between your top and bottom halves.

End your upper body workouts with two abdominal maneuvers. You can do these moves as a huge series or you can break them up into mini circuits. By changing the structure of your workout you can get more variety and you won’t get bored.

Start with your warmups and go through each one of your movements with two sets of each.

Next, pair up 3 upper and 3 lower moves to get some good cardio benefit. Cycle through sets of each one up to three times.
