Top Fat-Burning Workouts

When you want to lose weight, you need to get your body moving and increase your 
metabolism. There are certain workouts that help to burn more fat, helping you to reach 
your goals much faster. Here are some of the top fat-burning workouts.

Quick Power Walks

It is no surprise that walking is one of the best workouts when you are trying to lose 
weight, but there are a lot of different forms of walking. If you are taking more casual 
walks for longer periods of time, you will keep your body moving and burn calories, but 
not burn as much fat. If you want to burn more fat, you need to increase the intensity. 
Instead of an hour-long casual walk, try a fast, power walk but for about 20-30 minutes. 

Do Weights Before Cardio

Another effective method for burning fat is to do at least a few minutes of weight lifting 
before you do cardio. It is good to mix the two types of workouts regularly, but even on 
days when your only mission is to do some cardio, you should still be doing some 
weight lifting. People have found that when they do at least 10-15 minutes of weight 
lifting before stepping on the treadmill or elliptical, they lost weight more quickly and 
toned up at the same time.

Try Circuit Training

If you are not familiar with both cardio and weight lifting, then circuit training might be for 
you. Many fitness centers offer this as a class, or an area of the gym where each 
machine in a circuit is timed. This will make it a lot easier for you to do, without worrying 
about machines to do and for how long. It is an easy way to burn more fat at the gym 
and use a good amount of the machines without needing a personal training to show 
you how it’s done. 

Mix Up Your Workouts

This isn’t a specific type of workout, but rather a method of exercising. If you want to 
burn more fat while losing weight, then you don’t want to do the same exact workout 
every single day. Instead, try mixing it up and adding in some yoga or pilates, going for 
a hike instead of using the treadmill, or trying a new activity that gets your body moving, 
such as jumping in an indoor trampoline park. When you work different muscles of your 
body and have a different level of intensity, you start to burn more fat.
