Quick Fat-Burning Workout

Don’t have much time for a workout today, but want to blast some fat? Try the workout below that I’ve suggested for both the Rockets Power Dancers and my Bombshell Bootcamp for the days that they don’t meet with me. It’s a quick routine (should take you less than 45min) that will hit all your major muscle groups and keep your heart rate elevated with quick cardio mixed in.

 

 

FAT-BURNING WORKOUT:

*Use a set of medium dumbbells for most of these.
  • Warmup with fast walk, jumping jacks or stairs for 3-5minutes.
  • 20 pushups and then 40 reverse lunges or walking lunges if you have the space (use weights if you want to make it harder) – repeat both sets
  • 12-15 shoulder presses overhead + a wall sit for 60-90 seconds -repeat both sets
  • 12-15 Bent over rows (keep your back flat and squeeze your shoulder blades) + 30 “Froggers”: http://youtu.be/UsOlMBzKYsM – Repeat both sets
  • 12-15 Bicep Curls + 15 burpees. Repeat both sets.
  • 30 kneeling glute raises on each leg (use a weight to make it harder): http://youtu.be/UFTnj9aRjv4 Repeat both sides for 2 sets total.
  • 30 crunches on a stability ball (big ball) or Bosu. Hold 1 weight to make it harder. If you don’t have either – do V-ups on the floor instead.
  • Alternate 25 heel raises (heels to ceiling) and 25 toe touches. repeat for 2 sets.
  • Plank with alternating leg/arm raises for 1 minute: http://youtu.be/boZYMYq9qG4

About Me

About Me
Cari Shoemate

Hi! I'm Cari! I'm a fitness star turned Mom of 3 who lives in Houston, TX. Getting fit and healthy is a journey and one I understand well. After graduating from college I worked in a corporate setting for many years and gained a lot of weight and had an unhealthy lifestyle. Finally, after I had enough - I decided to regain my healthy lifestyle that I had in college by fitting in workouts and eating healthier. Eventually, I left my corporate job to become a full-time personal trainer and group fitness instructor. I also created Bombshell Bootcamp over 10 years ago and it has become one of Houston's top bootcamps! My passion then turned into greater opportunities to write workouts for national magazines, appear on tv doing workouts and speaking about healthy and fitness, making fitness DVD's and working with many celebrities. Fast forward a few years....and then I had my first baby! I'm now a Mom of 3 little ones and try to incorporate healthy living and exercise in our family's lives. Not only do I still blog about workouts and fitness, but I have shifted some to include family fitness, family travel, fashion, health/beauty and general lifestyle.
