Top Fat Burning Cardio Exercise

Burn more fat with your cardio exercise without getting bored! Its simple to do, won’t take much time, but it will be very tough to do. Here it is: run on grass or sand! And, if the wind is blowing in your face, that’s even better!

You will burn more fat and sculpt your body faster by running on the ground. You don’t need a machine to do cardio! Have you ever tried doing 20 minutes of running intervals on grass or sand? You should. If you get through one week (3 sessions) of these cardio intervals, you will see the results!

When you have a choice, run outside on grass, sand, etc. (not pavement, asphalt or other hard surface). Why? Because its tougher—you have to supply all the momentum and force with no help from machines! This will cause you to burn more calories during and after your workout.

Research says that you will burn 10% more calories by running on the ground. I believe its probably more when you figure in wind resistance and natural land inclines.

Get the most fat-burn and calorie-burn from your workouts—do your cardio workouts outside! Running outside is definitely my first choice and sprint intervals (20 minutes in some form) is the cardio workout I do the most. It works—much better than cardio on machines!

Another effective form of cardio exercise is bodyweight cardio. Pick strength exercises like squats, step ups, squat jumps, pushups and planks and do 20 minutes of cardio. You get both strength and cardio benefits.

Ditch the machines and do tougher, more effective cardio on the ground! The body fat will melt off!

Burn Butt, Hip and Thigh Fat

Every woman I know wants a toned butt with shapely hips and thighs! And, you should want that and more. A toned, healthy body should be the goal for you. You have to build muscle and burn fat to get that done!

GLUTES! Oxygen Magazine has special issues dealing only with SHAPING AND TONING YOUR BUTT! So, it is a very important topic to women. Problem areas for many women are the butt, hips (saddle bags) and thighs (jiggling jelly)…..

To be effective, glutes (and leg work for that matter) should be trained with cardio and strength training.

The American Council on Exercise (ACE) research found that the top cardio exercises for shaping your glutes (and legs) are: lunges, walking uphill, stair climbing, jogging and running (I suggest sprinting to get better results). No big surprises here and no gimmicks!

Just hard work! And research has proven that high intensity interval cardio is superior to longer duration, slow cardio (interpretation: go hard for 20 minutes instead of slow for 40 minutes)! Do 2-3 days of cardio exercise.

As for strength training? You can’t leave out squats!

Do your squats—bodyweight squats, dumbbell squats, barbell squats, split squats, lateral squats, one-legged squats, etc. Mix it up but do them. The benefits of the squat exercise extend beyond your legs. The same can be said for deadlifts (traditional, stiff-legged or other variations). Other top glute exercises are:

1) Step ups (front and lateral)
2) Standing cable or machine hip abductors
3) Standing, prone or floor hip extensions
4) Floor lateral thigh raises
5) Glute bridges and marching glute bridges
6) Pelvic raises and posterior pelvic tilts

Do 3 days-a-week of full body strength training. If these exercises become easy for you, then increase resistance or weights.

Blast the butt, hip and leg fat and total body fat!

Women’s Fat Loss Guide

Get your FREE Women’s Fat Loss Guide and start shaping the body you want before January! Her Fitness Hut’s 20+ page fat loss guide will give you nutrition tips, fitness tips and strength training tips for your body type.

There is a flood of information about weight loss out there in the marketplace. Some of it is garbage designed to reap quick profits! A general rule for you to follow with regard to weight loss is this: Don’t waste your money if the program offers a quick solution to your weight problem! Why?

Because what you need is the permanent solution to your weight problem. A permanent solution takes hard, smart work and sacrifice on your part. Human nature always seeks the path of least resistance.

So, you can see why commercial weight loss programs promote things such as “in 2 weeks….” The promotion may be partially true, but what they don’t tell you is the most critical part of the fitness equation: fat loss is the key to permanent weight loss. I will tell you how to achieve it.
