Losing Weight With Short Workouts

Losing Weight With Short Workouts


People these days feel like in order to lose weight, you must slave at the gym for an hour to an hour and a half a day. On top of this, they think that supplements are necessary in order to see significant results in a short period of time. Well, you cannot blame these people for believing this theory because it is truly every where. Almost every gym across the United States promotes this whole workout routine everyday, where you kind of fall into a cycle. They say that you should do a certain number of sets and repetitions along with added cardiovascular activities too, but this gets boring very quickly. This most likely is the reason why people do not see results in the end, it is because they got bored! The mentality that our media and gyms have given us is actually counterproductive, at least in a lot of cases.

Well, since this system does not seem to work for all users, what can we change about the system? Well, we only have two inputs that we can change: intensity at the gym and the length of the workout. Looking above, we can see that people seem to be getting bored with their workout before finishing it. This means that the length of the workout seems to be a problem. This is why losing weight with short workouts is working for a lot of the users.

You might ask, "How could I possibly lose weight working out less?" And that is good that you should be asking that question, as this theory does not make sense. The reason they work is because the person working out will more easily be able to get motivated to do a 10 minute workout versus an hour and a half workout. A sample of something that you might do as a short workout would be: 20 jumping jacks, 10 cross-body arm swings,:15 tricep stretch each arm, 10 incline push ups, 10 tricep dips, 10 burpees, 30 arm circles, 10 tricep dips, 15 elbows-in wall push ups, 10 sit ups, 10 burpees, 5 cobra push ups,:30 push ups. So as you can see, these workouts can be very intense. The best part is you can vary the length as much as you want depending on what you have time for. But that is why this is considered losing weight with short workouts, because you make as short as you want and then just vary how many times you do it, exactly like a circuit.

I think that it is best to plan something short, like above, because you will be able to get done in 10 minutes, yet be very intense and explosive. You will shred fat quickly, but not be spending hours at the gym, you can even do these workouts in your own home. Also, if you search "short workouts" in the search engine your choice, under the images menu you will be sure to see many of these workouts.
