Now more than ever, it’s good to be in great health! Here are (3) HIIT (high-intensity interval training) workouts, according to MuscleandStrength.com that will promote rapid fat loss!
THE KETTLEBELL CONDITIONER
Use this circuit utilizing only one kettlebell. Both the imbalance of the kettlebell and the fact that you will be fighting the weight on one side of the body will have your stabilizers, core, and other dormant muscles working in overdrive. This, in turn, will crank up your cardiovascular system all the while conditioning your muscles.
Perform 4 to 5 rounds of 10 to 15 reps each resting 1 minute after each round.

THE AT-HOME FAT SCORCHER
If equipment is a factor or if you don’t belong to a gym, then an at-home circuit may be your best bet for a fat-loss workout. The fact is you don’t really need anything fancy to get in a great workout – your bodyweight is more than enough.
Additionally, bodyweight training builds real-world strength and muscle allowing you to manipulate your body in such a way that weights and machines can’t.

THE NON-TRADITIONAL BURNER
Fat-burning cardio doesn’t have to be relegated to running, biking or rowing. Some nontraditional ways to get leaner are becoming the norm. Sled pulls/pushes, kettlebell circuits, and plyometric work not only are effective but can break the boredom that usually accompanies the traditional modes of cardio.
Perform 3 to 4 rounds of the following circuit. Rest 2 minutes between each round.
