1.Skipping: Ever seen a chubby boxer? There's no better start to your weight loss circuit than this deceptively gruelling test of agility. "Alternate legs while jumping the rope," says Fabrice. "This can help you burn up to 300kcals in 30 minutes." After five sets of 120 skips, you'll be punching through your weight loss goals. 2.Crunches: Nothing burns belly fat faster than crunches, which occupy the number one position in fat-burning exercises. Now, it’s time that you start performing this exercise. 3.The plank How to perform it: Start by placing your forearms on the ground with your elbows placed right under the shoulders. Keep the forearms parallel to each other. Now lift your body up to get into a push-up like position. Stay in this position for about 30 seconds. 4.Bodyweight squat: ...
1.Barbell Hip Thrust While this exercise doesn't target your abs, per se, it does target other core muscles like the glutes and hips. This move -- a favorite of Bret Contreras, CSCS, aka “The Glute Guy” -- is one of the best exercises for challenging and strengthening your backside. HOW TO DO IT: Start seated on the ground with a bench behind you and a loaded barbell over your hips. Your upper back and shoulders should be on the bench. Drive through your feet and extend your hips by contracting your glutes, raising the bar until your body forms a straight line from shoulders to knees. Return to the starting position and repeat. 2.WEIGHTED PLANK I consider the plank to be the...
1.Seafood Tuna, monkfish, roughy, pout, cuttlefish, clams and crayfish are low-cal, high-protein foods. A 3 oz. serving of tuna has 22g of protein and 99 calories. Atlantic salmon, by comparison, provides 10g more of protein in the same serving but has triple the calories. Shellfish may have more cholesterol than you want in your diet. For example, a 3 oz. serving of crayfish, which has roughly 13mg of protein, has 91mg of cholesterol, almost 1/3 of your daily DMV for cholesterol. A 3 oz. serving of roughy, by comparison, provides almost 14g of protein and has only 51mg of cholesterol. 2.Hard Boiled Eggs Boil a batch of eggs and keep them in the refrigerator for a quick, grab-and-go snack....
1.Assault Bike Why we use the Assault Bike: “It's always going to be a love hate relationship with the Airdyne. Mostly because when used right it's going to zap your body of all your energy. It's a great combination of upper and lower body cardio put into one machine.” Science says: Science hasn’t really dug deeply into the methodology of the assault bike, but men everywhere? That’s another story. Like Rob MacDonald, for example, general manager of Gym Jones in Salt Lake City. Last year, he logged an outstanding, WTF-worthy 87 calories on the bike in one minute. I'm dizzy just thinking about it. 2.Rowing Machine – Best Total Body Workout One of the most recommended and commonly used...
1.Squat (High And Low Bar) Why it's on the list: Squats are king because they're simply the most challenging leg movement you can do, especially when loaded appropriately. They work all the lower-body musculature (we're counting glutes), and have been shown to spike muscle-building hormone release. In fact, we even know that squatting before doing curls has been shown to significantly improve arm strength![1] We've grouped the high bar squat and low bar squat here, although they're a bit different. Bodybuilders typically use the high bar squat, in which the bar rests atop the traps, which hits all the leg musculature fairly evenly. Powerlifters prefer the low version, in which the bar instead sits further down atop the rear delts, since this variation...
