5 Ways To Burn Fat At Home

By: Home |


You don't need expensive cardio machines to lose fat. Instead, you can do fast workouts full of fun exercises for fat burning at home with hundreds of simple moves.

In fact, there are 5 simple categories of fat burning exercises. If you put at least one of each fat burning exercise into your workout routine, you'll lose fat at home in short workouts of 30 minutes or less, only 3 times per week.

The 5 fat burning exercises categories are squatting, pushing, pulling, single-leg exercises, and total body ab exercises. It's that simple. You can do hundreds of these types of home fat burning exercises with just your bodyweight, and I'm going to show you how.

In fact, you can put them together in a powerful fat burning circuit just like this. Start with a squat exercise, then do a pushup exercise, follow that with bodyweight or dumbbell rows, then do a single leg exercise, and then finish with a total body ab exercise. Do 10-15 repetitions per set. Don't rest between exercises. Rest one minute at the end of the circuit. If you are fit, you can do 1-2 more circuits. Powerful stuff!

The first category is the squatting motion. It is the most effective exercise method for burning calories because it uses your large leg muscles.

Here's something you didn't know. If you wanted to burn fat and flatten your stomach, and you only had time to do either bodyweight squats or ab crunches, you'd be better off doing squats! Squats will burn more calories, work more muscles, and help you burn fat better than crunches.

Fortunately, there are dozens and dozens of ways to do squats. For beginners, you can do wall squats or basic bodyweight squats. For intermediate level strength, you can do prisoner squats, Y-squats, and split squats (which also fall into the single-leg exercise category). Finally, if you are advanced, you can do single-leg squats. Those are all the bodyweight only exercises.

However, if you have dumbbells, kettlebells, or barbells, you can do more advanced fat burning exercises like dumbbells squats, kettlebell swings, or deadlifts. But be careful, you can only do these exercises if you have proper technique. Fortunately, these exercises burn even more calories and help you sculpt your body and improve your fitness at the same time.

The next type of home fat burning exercise is the pushing movement. That means pushups of all kinds (kneeling, regular, close-grip, decline, spiderman, etc.) or presses with dumbbells, kettlebells, or barbells. Again, hundreds of choices.

The third type of exercise is any type of pulling exercise. From chinups to pull-ups, bodyweight rows to dumbbell rows, kettlebell swings to deadlifts, there are a lot of options here, and as you see, some exercises can even cross-over into the squatting category. If you have resistance bands, you can use those as well.

The fourth category is back to the lower body, with some type of single-leg exercise. Your options include lunges, split squats, step-ups, 1-leg squats or 1-leg deadlifts, or even 1-leg lying hip extensions for beginners.

Finally, time to finish the circuit with a total body ab exercise. This does not include crunches. Instead, use stabilization and dynamic stabilization exercises like the plank, side plank, stability ball rollout and stability ball jackknife, mountain climbers, and all their variations.

Instead of 5 exercises for fat burning at home, I gave you at least 25 ways to burn fat at home. You don't need fancy machines and you can just say NO to cardio with 21st century fat burning workouts in the comfort of your own home.
