I get asked time and time again, "What exercise burns the most body fat?" The truth is that there is no one "best" fat burning exercise. In reality, you need a database consisting of many effective fat burning exercises. With several excellent exercises to rotate through, you will not experience mental boredom and physical staleness. This will keep your body challenged while encouraging consistent progress. In addition, this will keep you motivated to workout.
That being said, I do have some favorites. I will now share with you one fat loss exercise that consistently sits on the top of my list. This exercise is particularly effective and can be performed anywhere without any equipment whatsoever. Even better, it is one of the most time efficient exercises you can do. When done properly, just a few quick minutes of this exercise can burn as much fat as biking for an entire hour!
The exercise that I'm going to teach you is called the Advanced Burpee. Since the effectiveness of this movement is greatly determined by technique, I will describe to you in detail how to perform an Advanced Burpee properly. Below, I will explain how to do the movement, step by step.
1) Stand with a shoulder width stance. Squat down and put your hands on the ground in front of your feet.
2) Next, jump back with your feet while lowering your chest to the ground. This step will put you in the bottom position of a push up.
3) Then, forcefully push your chest away from the floor while simultaneously thrusting your legs back up towards your hands while leaving your hands on the floor.
4) Finish the movement by explosively jumping up in the air. Upon landing, quickly drop back down into the squat position and continue for the prescribed number of reps.
You can integrate this exercise into your routine in many different ways. Explaining all of the program design options is beyond the scope of this article. I will, however, provide you with one simple option, so you can get started immediately.
Here is your routine: Perform as many Advanced Burpees as you possibly can during the five minute time period. Only high quality reps count. Pace yourself. Be sure to record the number of reps performed. Then the next time you repeat this workout, try to get more reps then you completed previously.
Continue this pattern until no more progress can be made. Once this point is reached, it's time to change your workout.
You now have a very effective fat burning routine that utilizes one of the best fat loss exercises. Even better, it takes only five short minutes to perform. Be sure to challenge yourself! Your results will speak for themselves.
