Lunchtime Quickie
Have 30 minutes in your life to get in a quick lunchtime workout? You don’t ALWAYS have to go at it hard core in order to burn fat. However, you do need to have two days of moderate cardio exercise in your workout routine, along with the two high intensity workout sessions, and the two cardio sessions that are harder than your moderate routines but easier than your high intensity routines. YES, that is 6 days of cardio each week. This is what I recommend if you are trying to lose weight, get fit, or just keep that body nice and toned.
By doing this lunchtime routine, I am going to teach you to utilize your glutes and quads more. We are going to lengthen your stride. By lengthening your stride, you are able to use your butt and leg muscles more than if you took short steps.
Try these moves for ultimate fat burn:
Minutes:
0-2 min Walk at a moderate pace to warm up (heart rate should reach the 110’s)
2-15 min Walk at a fast pace, exaggerating your stride about 9-12 inches longer than your normal stride. Make sure you keep a tall back, good posture, and always look straight ahead.
12-20 min You will alternate one minute of walking lunges with one minute of moderate pace walking (like you did in your warm up)
20-30 min Walk at a fast pace, exaggerating your stride about 9-12 inches longer than your normal stride. Make sure you keep a tall back, good posture, and always look straight ahead.
