If you have a home workout dvd please use it, that's what i have been using, i run too but its been working for me. I haven't been to the gym in over 1yr. I am not saying gym is not good, whatever works for you, just make sure you are consistent.
Anyways, i have put together a small routine that shouldn't take you more than 30mins max to conclude, bathe and check out for work; Its a combination of cardio and strength training, which is the fastest way to burn fat. It keeps burning for the whole day. If you combine this with healthy eating, you have no issues.
If you are in the #workit challenge, you need this!
Try them in this particular order: (I have attached some video links to help you)
- EAT a small fruit or a cup of coffee (not milo and milk); it will help you pull through and burn more calories.
- WARM UP: could be in form of a stretch or jog on the spot or both. Should be about 2 mins. When you warm up your body before a workout, you have the tendency to burn more fat because your muscles are ready, and the fat is heated up and ready to melt (you get?) See a video here
- 10 PUSH UPS; This exercise is tough, but works wonders. beginner tip: you can try the easy version by resting your knees on the floor. See video here
- 20 JUMPING JACKS: Try not to rest in between the jumping jacks, keep going till you count 20. Beginner tip: try 15 jumping jacks instead. See video here
- 10 SQUATS: Some people will say i have come with squats again. Lol! Na so o. Its a great workout. Beginner tip: Try knee lunges instead. See video for lunges here
- 20 JUMPING JACKS: Beginners do 15.
- 10 CRUNCHES: This will help with the mid area of the body. Beginner tip: Try the basic crunches which is lay on your back, knees folded, hands behind your head, and raise the upper body only. There are many variations, try any of them. See video here
- 20 JUMPING JACKS: Beginners do 15.
- 10 DEAD LIFTS: Pick up your dumbbells front he floor, raise them above your head and bring them down to the floor again. While you do this, make sure your back is arched. Beginner tip: Use light weights of about 1kg or fill 2 small plastic bottle with sand, or use 2 cans of tinned food. See video Here
- COOL DOWN: This must be done after every workout, to help relax the muscles and avoid muscle cramping through the day. It should take at least 2 mins. See a video here
This should get you sweating profusely by the time you are done. Try not to rest too much in between workouts so as to maximize fat burn. This should take you about 15 to 20 minutes to complete, depending on how fast you are. You should be left with enough time to shower and dash to work. Eat your main breakfast as soon as you get the chance at work. All the best sweets. God bless.

Hmmmm I'm in that category oh! I need help seriously I keep telling myself "you are not fat 78kg isn't that bad after all there are people fatter than you blah blah blah" I really need to burn this stomach fat and to have a toned body! I promise myself no going back again. But pls cheliz is it that the meal plan helps Me burn fat faster along with the exercise? Like Me now that am battling with stomach fat
ReplyDeleteLol @ I'm in that category oh! 78kg isnt bad if ur above 5ft7in tall. But it all depends on how comfortable you feel. My meal plan is a great guide to what and how to eat to increase metabolism and burn more fat thru the day in addition to exercise. Most people try to lose weight by exercising alone, forgetting that what they eat has to be controlled too. If you can control your diet and eat the right things, 90% of your weightloss problems r solved. My plans also helps free stomach fat etc. Thanks.
