Bodyweight Fat Loss Workouts and Interval Training
Bodyweight fat loss workouts are easily the most effective fat loss workout method created. That is why boot camp exercises and routines have become so popular. There is nothing else that beats the speed and efficiency that bodyweight exercises offer when setup properly in circuit training.
Fat loss is accelerated when you work your entire body in a circuit. The problem with traditional cardio is that your body gets so efficient at doing the same movement pattern over and over (like in an elliptical or bike) that it learns how to perform the exercise with less oxygen and less energy. That is the opposite of what you want!
Using bodyweight exercises you can effectively workout without weights and not only get a cardio fat loss workout but a full body muscle toning and conditioning routine all in one. These can be done in circuits grouped with exercises that work opposing muscle groups or as specially designed intervals where you vary the workout intensity from low to high.
Craig Ballantyne has released another great workout called Adrenaline. The Turbulence Training Adrenaline Workout program consists of :
Adrenaline Advanced Fat Loss Workout
“ A heart-pounding 3-day circuit program, using bodyweight, dumbbells, and kettlebells, Adrenaline also includes NEW interval training techniques AND never before seen systems that are guaranteed to blast away that last little bit of stubborn belly fat.”
This is an advanced fat loss workout so if you are new to training or just getting back into working out you will probably want to start off with some of the more basic Turbulence Training Routines. You can find a couple examples here where I have posted a 12 minute and 7 minute fat loss workout.
Bodyweight exercise routines are great because you can do them at home without equipment. I’m doing a complete review of Bodyweight Exercise Revolution which I started looking through last week.
I spent a lot time looking through the system and went through a couple of the workouts to see what it is about – first thoughts, it is really tough! I’m going to officially start the program this week and will give updates on the features with what I like about it and who it is good for.
There are a lot of great programs to choose from this spring. If you want a sample boot camp exercise program get this Free Boot Camp Workout to get you started or join a fitness boot camp in your area so you can workout with groups of people.
If you are a fitness boot camp trainer or want more home boot camp workout ideas check out these boot camp drills I have posted here to add some variety to your classes.
For complete boot camp workout programs there are a few great choices out there.
If you haven’t tried bodyweight workouts take a look around on this site for some of the routines and get started. You don’t have to invest in any exercise equipment or a gym membership. Workout without weights from home and get in the best shape of your life with bodyweight exercises.
