Fat Burning Workouts: Get Lean And Mean

As a personal trainer, I am often asked, "What is the best exercise to burn fat?" and "Which is the best fat burning exercise, cardio or resistance training?" The answer is both. Cardio burns calories while weight training builds muscle, and building muscle speeds up your metabolism. See workouts below.

While both cardiovascular exercises and weight training have their rightful place in any legitimate fitness training program, many people simply do not have that kind of time on their hands. Combining these two critical elements into one training session is an excellent way to save valuable time and still see results.

With a good mixture of cardio and strength training exercises, you can burn tons of calories and build some real muscle in a short period of time. These fat burning exercises can be performed in just a few minutes and will help you get lean and mean.

By performing your fat burning exercises with an elevated heart rate, you will raise your anaerobic threshold, thereby allowing you to burn additional calories the next time you workout. These online workout programs will help you build lean muscle by challenging your entire body while improving your cardiovascular endurance.

Trainer's Tip: The fat burning exercises presented below are to be performed in their entirety with very little or no rest between sets to maximize calorie burn. Choose a weight that is challenging.
