Body weight exercises are some of the most effective fat burning workouts you can do.
The reason for this is they don't rely on isolation movements like weight lifting does.
When you perform a body weight exercise you are typically using every muscle in your body.
This means that you are burning the maximum amount of fat possible.
What follows below is a bodyweight exercise routine that anyone can do that will really help blast the fat off your body.
The Prisoner Squat - Perform this exercise by putting your hands behind your head like your a prisoner.
Then simply bend your knees to squat down then stand back up again.
Breathe out as you go bend your knees, breathe in as you stand up.
The reason you do this is you should consider your lungs to be like an accordion.
When you bend down you are squeezing your lungs (somewhat) so you will want to exhale the air.
When you stand back up you are increasing the size of your lungs which is when you will want to breathe in.
Perform 15 repetitions of this body weight exercise.
Basic Pushups - Get down on all fours in the basic pushup position.
Make sure you keep your back straight with both your stomach and butt tight.
Breathe in as you press yourself up, breathe in during the downwards motion.
Single Leg Squat Thrust - This exercise will really get your heart pumping.
Stand up straight with your stomach tucked in tight.
Bend over and place your palms on the ground.
Raise one leg off the ground so that only you are standing on one leg.
Jump backwards with this one leg and then jump it backwards again.
Bring your opposite foot to the ground again and stand up.
Repeat this process again but with the opposite leg.
Perform this motion 20 times (10 for each leg).
Ring Row - For the bodyweight exercise you will need some gymnastic rings.
All you do here is grab each ring from the bottom and hang there with your back to the ground.
The rings should be low enough to allow you to keep your feet on the ground.
Now simple pull your chest up towards the rings and let yourself come back down again.
Do this 10 times.
Alternating Lunges - For this one stand up straight with your hands on your hips.
Take a big step forward with your right foot and bend it at the knee.
Bring your left knee down, but not so far down that it touches the mat.
Stand up straight again but this time lunge forward with your left leg.
Repeat in this alternating style for 10 times.
Burpees - This is an example of a body weight exercise that you should not do on an empty stomach.
Begin by standing up straight.
Bend forward and place your palms on the ground.
Next jump backwards with both feet then bring them forward again.
Now from this squat position jump straight upwards.
Repeat this exercise 10 times.
Mountain Climbers - To perform this exercise bend over and put both hands on the ground.
Next, stretch your right leg behind you with your left leg tucked into your chest.
Now simply bring your right knee to a position under your chest while you extend your left leg behind you.
Repeat this motion quickly back and forth.
It should almost look like you are a sprinter running in place, although of course you are not moving at all.
Perform this exercise 25 times.
And that's it.
Once you've finished this bodyweight exercise routine you should be sweating all over and you'll be burning fat like crazy, guaranteed.
Good luck!
