As gross as that title may sound to some of you guys, just sit back and read. For the past month, I haven't been lifting weights. I've been focusing on burning fat and toning up. I like the size that I am, I just want things to be tighter and more cut up. Simple goals right? Not at all. It's hard work. My workouts have consisted of running/jogging, jumprope, and 150 pushups in each workout. I've already told you guys that running is a great workout, as well as jumprope. Now when you combine those two, you will sweat off the fat in no time. The key to fat burning is a full-body workout. Running is the cardiovascular, strengthens leg muscles. The jumprope works the arms and mucho cardio. Pushups work the chest of course, and other muscles that I can't name at the moment because I don't know (I'm no expert). Honestly, I feel stronger and faster from doing these activities alone. My arms look more defined. I'm getting the definition that I'm working so hard for. I've already lost five pounds, I feel great inside and out. Here are some variations of the workout that I typically do.
1. running on a track: walk, run, walk, run = 4 laps
then jumprope for five minutes
In between each set of jumps, do 10 basic pushups until you reach 50.
Run 4 more laps
Jumprope for five minutes continuously
50 more pushups
Walk one lap to cool down, then 50 more pushups.
2. If you wanna really bust your butt:
jog/run 8 consecutive laps around the track
60 pushups
Incorporate some squats, jump squats, lunges, squat thrusts also.
Jump rope for 10 minutes, with some breaks in between to catch your breath.
90 more pushups. Include some jump pushups, diamonds for triceps, etc. You can break them up into sets of 10, 15, 20, or just push all the way through.
Trust me guys, this will be highly effective if you want to burn fat and tone up with minimal weight lifting. I'm seeing results after a month. It's hard work but it can be done.
