How to Burn More Calories in Your Workout in 5 Steps

Do you know that you can burn 100 calories or more by adding
something extra into your workout within spending more time?
With 100 calories extra, in 35 sessions, you will be losing an
extra one-pound of body fat on top of the total body fat that
you will lose from your normal weight loss exercise routine.

This question became very popular because there are so many
people out there that are hitting the weight loss plateau. They
are exercising hard but yet they are not losing any more weight.
This is very frustrating and sometimes can be very demoralizing.
But you don't have to worry now, I will share with you methods
that I teach with my subscribers in Fast Fat Loss E-Mag on how
to burn more calories during your workout.

Step one. Please get out of the fancy machine and hit the free
weights and cables. There are many things that these machines
cannot offer. Although they are highly engineered and are of
latest technologies, they still do not train your muscle on
balancing and coordination. The movement path is fixed and all
you have to do is push. But with free weights, you need to
balance the weights, focus on coordination, and focus on the
power and speed of individual arm and also the movement path.
This will burn more calories. Not only that, the muscle is
worked more intensely. This will require more calories from the
body for muscle recovery.

Step two, add in lunges into other exercises. Most of the time,
people think that lunges is used only to work the butt, quads
and hamstrings. But not many people know that lunges can be
integrated into other exercises to make the exercise more
complex and intense. A good example is dumbbell shoulder press
with lunge. This exercise works the shoulders, the triceps, the
core and the entire lower body. Rather than just sitting down on
the bench and pressing the weights upwards, why not add in the
lunges.

To perform this exercise, start by standing up with your feet
side by side. Hold the dumbbells at shoulder height with your
palms facing forward. And with one fluid movement, step out your
right leg and drop vertically downwards until your left knee
almost touches the floor. Press the dumbbells all the way up as
you lower the left knee. Then step back to original position and
repeat with your left leg.

There are many other exercise that you can add lunges to. You
can add lunges to your dumbbell bicep curls, to your oblique
twist with fitball and many more.

Step 3. Add squats into your other exercise. This is a similar
concept of the lunges. By adding leg movements into your upper
body movements, you almost double up your calorie burn. This is
because the more muscle you exercise, the more calories you
burn.

An interesting way you can add squats into your exercise is
doing squats with your cable rows. First, stand up straight with
the bar in your hands. Take a step back so that the weight stack
is up. Then, instead of just bringing the bar to your stomach,
squat down first, hold the position then bring the bar to your
stomach. Return to the original position by extending your arms
fully and the stand back up.

Step 4. You can also add in unrelated exercises in between
sets. This means that instead of just resting one minute between
a set of pull downs, why not do a set of crunches or a set of
triceps press downs. This sort of supersets really can increase
the intensity of the exercise and your heart rate.

You can also do chest exercises superset with abs, shoulder
exercises superset with leg exercise. To take it another level
higher, superset the weight training sets with a 2-minute high
intensity cardio like uphill running or the Stair master

Step 5. Stick to large muscle groups and do only compound
exercises. Large muscle groups like legs, back, chest and
shoulders burns a lot if calories during a session of weight
training. This because the size of these muscle groups are far
larger than biceps and triceps. Use compound exercises to hammer
these muscle groups. Compound exercises like squats, dead lift,
chin-ups, barbell bench press and barbell shoulder press
utilizes a lot of calories because lots of muscles are being
worked at one time.

Use these tips to burn more calories in your workout session.
