Fitness From the Pro

We have talked about using multiple pieces of  apparatus at the same to engage multiple body parts.  For instance, doing a lunge with a bicep curl.  We all know you can burn more fat varying the heart rate, with interval training or with circuits.  I’m going to add a couple of new exercises you can incorporate in your fat burning workouts.

Let’s start with an explosive exercise called lunge jumps.  Lunge forward, push up and jump while switching lead leg.  Keep alternating your lead legs.  This will surely get your heart rate going.

Another exercise utilizes the BOSU.  Squat on the BOSU with a medicine ball held in front,  as you jump up, push the medicine ball up over head.  Land back on the BOSU in a squat.  Repeat, jump up and push medicine ball over head.  Be sure to land soft on the BOSU in a squat position.  Talk about fat burning and heart pumping.

Keep these kinds of multiple exercises in between your toning or balance segments.  Just keep moving from exercise to exercise.  You can plan ahead, what you want to do.  Get the equipment at “your station” and move.  Fabulous fat burning workouts can be very creative!
