Workout Routines Without Weights
If you think you need to go to a fancy gym in order to burn fat, then you're absolutely mistaken. There's nothing that you need in a gym that you don't already have: your bodyweight. Realize that fat loss is all about burning more calories than you consume.
So, the first step is calorie control. Make sure that you know exactly how many calories you're consuming before you start your weight loss plan. The next step is to perform high intensity workouts to burn more calories, and hence burn more fat.
The way you burn a lot of calories using bodyweight workouts is to perform circuit training.
Circuit training is where you perform four or more exercises back to back with little to no rest in between each set. This kind of high intensity training raises your heart rate.
When your heart rate is working at 75% or more of its maximum, then it's working really hard to get things done. This is what burns calories and boosts your metabolic rate, not steady state cardio. The target heart rate zone is a complete myth and useless piece of information.
But, let's not worry about that. I want to give you a simple template you can use to develop some workout routines without weights.
All you do is choose one pushup variation, one pullup variation, one lower body exercise, and one core exercise.
Next, you choose the number of sets and repetitions you want to perform for each exercise. One tip about repetitions is to choose around 75% of your maximum. So, if you can do 10 pullups maximum, then perform 7-8 repetitions per set.
The last step is to perform all of these exercises in a circuit with little to no exercise between each set.
