Boost your calorie burn!

As you go about your workout programme, it's important that you're constantly looking for more ways to boost the number of calories you burn and increase that intensity. Remember that you definitely do not need to implement more than a few of these at a time. Instead, try one out and see how it feels. Utilize that technique for a week or two in your workouts and then move on to another.

Couple exercises together

The first way to boost the intensity of your workout program is to start coupling exercises together. This is often referred to as a 'superset' and will be where you perform the first exercise and then immediately move to the next without taking any rest break in between. So for example, if you have both bicep curls and tricep extensions scheduled for your workout session, rather than performing all the sets of bicep curls and then moving on to the tricep extensions, perform a single set of bicep curls and immediately do the set of tricep extensions. Then take a thirty second or so break and begin again. Once all the intended sets have been completed, then you can move on to the next exercise pairing.

Add intervals to your cardio

When it comes to your cardio workout training in your weight loss plan, one quick tip to use is to add in some intervals.

Instead of just staying at the same old pace as you go about your workout session, bump it up a notch for about 30 seconds or so. Then once you're finished that interval, reduce back to an easier pace while the body rests again. 

Pair upper and lower body exercises

Similar to a superset, another technique that will really boost your metabolism up higher and make for a great weight loss tip is to pair an upper body exercise with a lower body exercise. Because of the fact the upper body can rest while the lower body is working this will dramatically cut down on the total amount of time you have to dedicate to the workout session while helping you burn more calories per minute.

Focus on time rather than reps 

Finally, the last quick workout weight loss tip to add in is to start using time as an indicator of when to stop your exercise. Most people are in the habit of performing their exercise for so many reps. Whether it's eight reps, ten reps, or twelve reps, you do your target number and then stop. Instead of doing it this way, just focus on seeing how many reps you can do in a one-minute time period. Even if you have to stop halfway through, get right back at it as soon as you can. Work on improving the total number of reps completed per minute instead and you'll really be creating some intense workout sessions.
