Burn Calories Faster With Full Body Moves

Burn Calories faster with full body moves

Everybody today wants weight loss results faster. The fact of the matter is the only way you are going to see results is to burn more calories than you take in. To burn more calories than you eat you have to workout. However, you do not need to do the usual boring lifts that only focus on one muscle group at a time. It is common sense that the more you move, the more calories you can burn. So why not do workouts that involve moves that make you move your whole body? Not only will you burn more calories, but by working more muscle groups with one move, you can also cut the amount of time you workout in half. In fact, by doing full body moves you can burn the same amount of calories in 10 minutes that would take you close to 20-30 minutes to do when only lifting one muscle group at a time. Below you can see a short list of full body moves that can help you burn more calories faster:

Lunge with a twist- Start by lunging forward, once at the bottom of the lunge twist your body to the knee that is out in front of you. Return to the starting position and repeat with the opposite leg. This works your legs as well as your core.

Squat with a military press- Standing with a dumbbell of your choice in each hand keeping your back straight squat down as far as you can go, do not hurt yourself! Then stand back up and press the dumbbells above your head. This workout will work your legs as well as your shoulders, arms, and back.

Body Builders- With your feet shoulder-width apart, squat, thrust your legs back, do a pushup, pull your legs back under, and jump as high as you can out of the squat position (alt. do jumping jack).

Side Lunge Kick- Lunge out with your left leg to the left side of your body. On your way back to the starting position, with your right leg kick to the right side of your body.
