4 Key Elements to an Incredible Beginner Workout at Home For Fat Loss

Posted by Parth Shah on June 20, 2010 in Beginners Workout |

Have you ever noticed the incredibly lean and athletic bodies of dancers, gymnasts, and yogis (people who practice yoga)? Now, we know that these athletes don’t lift weights, but do you really think that these athletes have built up their amazing bodies just by sticking topushups, pullups, and bodyweight squats?

Nope. Use the following 4 elements to create your own high intensity bodyweight workouts to help you lose fat:

Element #1: Focus on Complex and Multi-Directional Movements

Complex and multi-directional movements will help you engage more muscle mass and thus give you a more leaner and athletic look. Try this exercise: perform a regular squat thrust, and then jump forward into a roll. Perform just 10 repetitions of this exercise and you’ll notice that your heart rate is beating higher than normal and after a few repetitions you’ll start to get tired.

Element #2: Keep your Workouts Short and Intense

Dance and gymnastics routines are extremely short. They train for hours perfecting their technique. But you don’t have hours per day to focus on technique. So stick to basic exercises, but train at a high intensity and keep your workouts short. Short, intense workouts will boost your metabolic rate. A higher metabolic rate equals more calories burned throughout the day.

Element #3: Make your Rest periods Shorter before Adding Volume

Volume is the product of your sets and repetitions your perform. For example, if you’re doing 3 sets of 10 pushups, that’s a volume of 30 pushups. Most people will try to add repetitions or sets in order to make their workouts harder. Instead, reduce your rest between each set and exercise. This will force your body to work harder, make your workout shorter, and boost your metabolic rate even more.

Element #4: It all begins in the Mind

At the end of the day, even if you have the greatest workout program in the world, if you’re not mentally committed, you’ll never be able to produce dramatic results. Get yourself mentally psyched for the tough workout before you, and you’ll be able to push through any challenge.

Use these 4 elements to make your workouts more effective!
