With Easter just around the corner, you may be wondering about what the best way to work off a few additional pounds after letting yourself loose on some Easter eggs. We’ve put together a fat-burning/weight loss workout that will dramatically increase your EPOC (exercise post oxygen consumption) to keep you burning calories long after you’ve left the gym.
Before and after
Create certain you prepare well for this workout, by giving yourself an adequate warmup to avoid any injuries and encertain you cool down properly and stretch out after you’ve totald it.
This is a fast and simple workout that requires virtually no equipment, with many easy alternatives for the equipment used i.e. substitute a bag of sugar for the goblet squats, or take yourself for a run whether you don’t have access to a bike. So, no excuses – and endelight the chocolate guilt-free!
- Goblet squat – 20 reps of 3 sets
Carry out this with a light dumbbell, or a kettle bell whether you fancy more of a ccorridorenge. Remember to not go too heavy as we are focusing on burning fat and not building muscles and 20 reps of a heavy weight may be a bit of a struggle. Adding weight to this will help work your ttall muscles as well as your glutes.
