Use your own body weight to burn fat for this 8-minute workout Sometimes, you can't get to
the gym or even access the workout gear you have stashed in your
basement. Maybe you're stuck in some godforsaken Motel 6. Maybe you're
trapped at your in-laws' house. Maybe the Feds discovered you gave
stock advice to Martha Stewart.
Well, that's still no excuse. This full-body routine requires no
equipment and only 8 minutes of your time. Perform each exercise below
for 30 seconds. Do one move after another without rest and repeat the
sequence without rest for a total of four times, if you can.
The intensity of this workout conditions your muscular and
cardiovascular systems, helps improve flexibility, and melts fat.
You'll burn hundreds of calories.
Jumping Jack. Just like grade school. Start with
your hands on your hips and your feet together. Raise your hands out to
your sides and up overhead as you move your feet out to the sides. Then
bring your feet back together and lower your hands to your sides.
Split Hop. Stand with your hands on your hips and
your feet together. Move your left foot 6 inches forward and your right
foot 6 inches back. Now jump up and switch leg positions so that your
right foot is forward.
Squat Thrust with Pushup. Stand with your arms at
your sides. Bend your knees and lower your hands to the floor. Kick
your legs behind you so that you're in a Pushup position. Now do a
Pushup. Thrust your knees to your chest so that your feet are back
underneath you and stand back up.
