Video: Weight Training Workout for Fat Loss

This 30-minute workout works your entire body, toning and strengthening your muscles, so you'll burn more fat - even after you're finished with the routine!* Free weights (dumbbells) are needed for this workout. Free weights can help with fat burning, as they will challenge and use more of your muscle groups for each movement, creating more calorie burn, and also a more balanced physique than working out with a weight machine. Not to mention, they take up a lot less room in your home!

Use whatever weight works for you - but be sure to pace yourself, as it's a fairly long weight routine. You may want to start out with heavier weights, then switch to lighter ones as your muscles start to get tired, so you can avoid injury. Also be sure to warm up and stretch before doing this workout as this is not included in the video. Be careful, pay attention to the instructions, and listen to your body.

Now let's get ready to get our burn on!

* Note: Be sure to consult your healthcare practitioner and/or trainer before beginning any new workout routine, especially if you are at a low fitness level.

Video: 15-Minute Interval Cardio Workout

This quick 15-minute workout will give you a great full-body high-intensity cardio workout that will help you burn lots of fat quickly, and increase your metabolism. No equipment necessary! Each of the 10 exercises is done for one minute, with 30-seconds of active recovery in between. You can do either the exercise she demonstrates for the recovery periods, or march in place, or another moderate activity. The goal is to bring your heart rate down, conditioning your heart to be able to handle short bursts of intense activity and recover quickly.

The exercises in this workout are similar to my favorite PACE Express workout by Dr. Sears, and boy do they work! You'll feel like you've been sweating at the gym for an hour, but it only takes 10 minutes out of your day.  Be sure to warm up properly first, and stretch afterwards. Consult with your doctor before beginning this or any other intense exercise program, especially if your fitness level is low.
