Three HIIT Workouts for Rapid Fat Loss

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!

  1. 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.

  1. 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.

Perform 3 to 5 rounds of 10 to 15 reps of the following circuit. Rest 2 minutes between rounds.
