I received a great question from one of my Rapid Fat Loss Cardio customers the other day.
8 years ago she broke her tailbone, and though she's been loving the shorter, more intense interval workouts, sitting on a spin bike was bothering her booty a lot.
So, I sent her the following 2 videos showing great low-impact, equipment-free cardio exercises to use instead, so check them out:
Body Weight Cardio Interval Workout A- 20-10 Tabatas
Body Weight Cardio Interval Workout B- 20-10 Tabatas
Now, let's take this a step further...
For the longest time I have believed that running sprints was an unparalleled fat loss exercise for interval workouts.
But over the past year I have seen equal or better results for both myself and my clients by substituting total body strength exercises for running.
Let's take a look at a classic example of total body strength exercise taken from QUICKIE Workouts Vol. I- One Exercise Workouts:
The squat to row is a total body exercise, just like running is, but WITHOUT THE IMPACT on your joints!
In fact, if you look closely, the squat to row is a essentially like a rowing machine that's made more effective by being able to perform the exercise standing vs. seated! Plus you'll save a thousand dollars by using the band instead...
So if you are looking for safer, lower-impact alternatives to running (or using machines for your cardio interval workouts), then be sure to use the suggestions I gave today ;)
Crank it!

5-Minute Gut Blaster Workout
I am a huge fan of pillar training.
It's essentially a step up from core training as pillar training involves the shoulders, hips, AND core.
This week I gave all of my boot camp clients a killer 5-minute abs finisher involving pillar combination exercise... THIS WILL DESTROY YOUR ABS!
Here's the workout and companion video demo:
3-Way Dynamic Pillar- Perform 5 reps/way = 1 Round. Perform Max Rounds for Time in 5 Minutes
Only rest when you absolutely have to by taking short 5-20 s rest periods when form or technique begins to falter.
Due to the constant switching of pillar movements you are able to continuously work your abs for straight 5 minutes... well, to the best of your ability ;)
Alright, have a great weekend, and be sure to smoke those abs with this 5-minute quickie!
Crank it!

One Exercises Workouts To Burn Belly Fat and Lose Weight Fast!
Today I want emphasize the revolutionary concept of combination exercises.
Essentially a combination exercise is where you take one exercise and combine it with one or more exercises (thus the name).
For example, let's say you are doing a dumbbell lunge to work your lower body.
Well if you added a curl to press at the end of each lunge, you would supercharge this exercise form a lower body exercise to a TOTAL body exercise.
That means more muscles worked and more calories burnt which in turn means a greater metabolic boost and greater fat loss.
Now the coolest thing about combination exercises like the dumbbell lunge+curl to press is that all it takes is one of these total body exercises to give yourself a complete total body workout!
Click the link below to see some of our favorite combination exercises, including the dumbbell lunge+curl to press:
By using total body exercises in your total body workouts you will get better total body results ;)
