For fast fat loss so anaerobic cardio

It's been a while since I posted due to a very hectic schedule and being in kind of a funk.Anyway with the arrival of spring my motivation is back up again and I'm back to training hard again in my favorite element-OUTDOORS!

What I'd like to talk about today is the huge benefits of anaerobic cardio especially using bodyweight exercises.Many people dismiss bodyweight training in favor of weights,kettlebells,clubbells or whatever.However if you think about it barring physical limitations what could be more productive then mastering your own body?There are many approaches to training but what I want to talk about today is burning fat.I recently helped a friend drop 14 lbs in 6 weeks using this type of approach.

You want to use exercises that use as many muscles as possible at the same time.Things like pushups,burpees,and squats are ideal.If you're just starting out you can do 20 seconds of nonstop exercise then rest 10 seconds then repeat as many times as you can.Over time you will build up to more time doing the exercises.There are many ways to tweak this like 30/30,60/30 you need to be your own judge.
For those who like a challenge try this.Find a park bench or a picnic bench and get going!
100 step ups
25 pushups
75 stepups
25 pushups
50 byrpees
25 pushups
50 stepups
25 burpees.

Happy Training!
