Blast Fat with Bursts of Strength Training

You've heard the dreaded mantra: It takes cardio, cardio, cardio to burn fat. I agree with Nancy Cole, "Incorporate it into your strength training and you'll break up the boredom and blast extra calories." Adding small bursts of cardio here and there will add a jolt to your routine, increase your endurance level and improve your athletic performance. It'll help you shed pounds, too.

Choose whatever cardio intervals you like. Jumping rope, jumping lunges, jump squats, jumping jacks, running in place -- if your knees can handle the pounding. Or, be creative. Place a hula hoop on the floor, stand outside its circle and jump laterally into and out of it.

This is an excellent format to use with TheCardioClub MP3 FREE Workouts!!

Start your training session with three minutes of cardio followed by three resistance exercises back-to-back without rest. You may want to choose a lower-body exercise followed by an upper-body exercise and finally an abdominal exercise. Then, rest briefly only if necessary. Try another cardio burst for three minutes and three other resistance exercises. Continue this cycle for forty-five minutes to an hour.

If possible, wear a heart rate monitor and tailor the routine to fit your level of fitness, but make sure you challenge yourself. You should sweat and feel sufficiently fatigued at the end of the session. It should be a heart-pounding workout that leaves you feeling really worked.
Make sure to warm up before beginning the workout and stretch sufficiently once you've completed it.
