Boxing is a challenging workout that gets your heart rate up, burns a ton of calories, and strengthens your core, upper body, and lower body. If you are a beginner,

it might be best to work out with a trainer at a boxing gym or your local health club. Initially, you will want to work on proper form so that the

workout will be effective. Check out this video for tips on how to approach boxing to get the most out of every workout!

Interval training is simply any exercise that alternates between periods of intense activity followed by recovery periods several times. You can do intervals on the treadmill, while performing bodyweight exercises,

or even in a cycle class. If you only have 20 minutes, this cycling workout can be done right at home.

Lifting weights is probably the most effective way to burn fat because of the "afterburn effect." Your metabolism gets a boost because of the extra calories needed to rebuild muscle after

the workout. You should strive for at least three days per week on alternate days. This 10-minute workout will get your heart rate up and have you feeling the burn in

no time!

Boot camps incorporate every part of the body challenging you with cardio, weight training, bodyweight exercises, and core. You will build strength and endurance. Being in a group environment with a motivated

instructor will push you far beyond your limits. There are boot camps at your local gym, but also check your local parks and recreation centers for classes in your area. 

Swimming is perfect for exercisers who have joint or back problems. It is also a great recovery workout in between training sessions. And you can even do interval training in

the pool! This full body workout engages your core to help with posture. So get started and watch the fat just melt away!
