Top 3 Exercises to Burn More Calories With No Equipment
1. Flat-out Burpees
Get ready for your heart rate to elevate! We love burpees because they are a great metaphor for life – when you fall down to the ground, you get right back up!
2. Jump Squats
Jumping exercises, also known as plyometrics, are great for fat burning and really activate your core. Not only are you working your major leg muscles, (quadriceps, hamstrings, and glutes) but you’re also working your inner and outer thighs (adductors and abductors), calves, and challenge your stabilization as well. (If you’re not ready for jump squats yet, regular squats are great, too!)
3. Skier Abs
This exercise is a variation of the plank: you’re targeting your ab muscles from all angles with this move! Plus, you have to stabilize your upper body and work your legs to jump from side to side.
Combine these 3 exercises for a 15-minute interval training
- Do each exercise at a 40/20 interval. That means: 40-second workout/ 20-second rest.
- Repeat for 4 rounds
- Rest for 60 seconds at the end of the third exercise interval
