Although Exercise isn’t the only way to burn fat fast, it is definitely one of the most effective methods of increasing how fast you can reach your diet goals. Studies show working out even a few days a week can increase calories burned through metabolism by as much as 25%. That means that even when you’re just sitting around, you’re burning more calories. Since muscle not only gives you a toned, atheltic look, but helps your body burn more calories, these exercises are ones you should definitely consider. All you need is 15 minutes per day and a set of dumbbells (although you can substitute milk jugs or anything else of equal weight)
Standing Squats
With feel shoulder width apart and hands down at your sides (grasping the weights), arch your back in and keep it tight. Lower yourself slowly and carefully towards the ground into a squatting position and then stand back up. Repeat 10-20 times (whatever you feel comfortable with) and repeat for 3-4 sets. This exercise targets muscles over virtually your whole lower body and core.
Push-up
Keep your hands shoulder width apart, and your back straight, balancing your weight between your toes and hands. Lower yourself to the ground (keeping your back straight) while bending your arms. Raise yourself back up to a locked out position, and repeat. If the standard pushup is too difficult (which it is for many), try starting out with your weight on your knees instead of your toes. This targets much of your upper body and core, including arms.
Leg Raise
Lay on your back, with your arms at your sides, and legs straight. Lift your legs off the ground, and bring them toward you while slowly bending at the knee. Gently and slowly lower back to the ground. This targets your abs, core, as well as legs.
Crunches
Lay on your back with your arms crossed across your chest, or at your side. Keep your knees bent, and feet on the floor. Raise your upper body up slightly, contracting your abdominals. Do not jerk on your neck, or strain with your neck. All the work should be done by your abs, which this exercise isolates.
