Alternate between 30 seconds of strenuous work (squats, lunges, push-ups) & 15 seconds of rest. Short bursts of workouts at a high intensity have been shown to burn more calories than steady state cardio.

This move is totally somewhere between a strength exercise and cardio. Mountain climbers are extremely challenging and burn calories, while building strength and stability!

Squat jumps are a powerful movement, increase the heart rate, and use the glutes, quads, and calves. You will engage and build muscle while burning fat!

Punching quickly while incorporating footwork will raise your heart rate & tone your upper body all in one. Great for tiny spaces!

The Kettlebell swing brings power movements, while quickly riding the heart rate and building strength. Unless you are very experienced with kettlebells, use a moderate weight.

Perform 15–20 minutes of these workouts 4–5 days a week, & that consistency will achieve fat loss faster than 3-hour running or any activity you may engage in.
