The Most Effective Fat Burning Exercise

by John Alvino

If I had one dollar for every time someone asked me, “What is the best fat burning exercise”, I’d be a rich man today. I always respond the same way to this question. “There is no one best fat burning exercise. In order to have sustainable fat loss results, you must have several effective exercises to choose from.” This is a slightly more complicated (yet more honest) answer than they were expecting. I then have to explain that if you only performed one exercise to burn fat, in addition to being mentally bored, your body would quickly adapt and become stale after a few short weeks.

That being said, I do have some favorites. I will now share with you one fat loss exercise that consistently sits on the top of my list. This exercise is particularly effective and can be performed anywhere without any equipment whatsoever. Even better, it is one of the most time efficient exercises you can do. When done properly, just a few quick minutes of this exercise can burn as much fat as biking for an entire hour!

The exercise that I’m referring to is the Advanced Burpee. Since technique is of the utmost importance when performing this exercise, I will describe to you in detail how to properly execute the Advanced Burpee. Below, I will break down the movement into four simple steps:

1) Stand with a hip width stance. Squat down and put your hands on the ground slightly in front of your feet.

2) Next, jump back with your feet while lowering your chest to the ground. This step will put you in the bottom position of a push up.

3) Then, explosively push your chest away from the floor while simultaneously bringing your legs back up into the squat position with the hands still on the floor.

4) Finish the movement by quickly jumping up in the air. Without hesitation, drop back down into the squat position and continue for the prescribed number of reps.

There are many ways to integrate this exercise into your routine. Explaining all of the options is beyond the scope of this article. I will, however, give you one simple yet effective option that you can begin utilizing immediately.

Set a stopwatch for five minutes. Perform as many quality Advanced Burpees as you can during the five minute period. Push yourself. After the five minutes is over, write how many reps you performed. Then every time you repeat this workout, exceed the number of reps you completed during the prior training session.

Continue this process until you max out on your progress. Once no further improvement is possible, it’s time to change up your workout.

You now have an extremely effective fat burning routine that utilizes one of the best fat burning exercises. Even better, it takes only five minutes to perform. Work hard and challenge yourself! You”ll be rewarded greatly for it.
