How To Get Rid Of Belly Fat With A 10 Minute Workout



Are you looking to change the shape of your body or trying to get rid of belly fat without joining a high priced gym? If so, try this high energized cardiovascular fitness routine that that was developed by Keli Roberts.

With this 10 minute exercise routine you can burn up to 150 calories every single day.

The first two minutes of this fat burning routine is: 

Jump Rope - Begin by performing two jumps for each turn of the rope. Safety: Use the correct size jump rope and always land softly on the balls of your feet (that is the upper part of the bottom of your foot). Keep thinking I am losing weight.

Minutes two to three:

Squat Thrust into a Push Up. The proper technique for this exercise is to stand with your feet shoulder width apart and your arms strait down next to your sides. Slowly squat down with your head forward and bring your hands to the floor just outside of your feet. Your hands should be pointing forward as well. Then in one movement, push your legs back and out behind you (into a pushup position). Perform one strict pushup and then jump back into your squat position and then stand back up. Keep thinking, the fat is vanishing.

Minutes three to four: 

Jump Rope with only one jump per turn. Keep thinking, The fat is melting away.

Minutes four to five:

Back to the Squat Thrust and Push Up only this time you are going to add the Side Plank. After completing your squat thrust and push up, you are going to lift and rotate your left arm off of the ground and over your head. Your left foot will rotate and rest on top of you right foot. And you will rotate your neck so you are looking up at your ceiling. Rotate back to the center and repeat on the other side. When finished, hop back into your squat position, stand up and start again. Keep thinking, no more belly.

Minutes five and six:

Jump Rope. Same as minutes three and four. keep thinking, I am on the way to get rid of belly fat.

Minutes six and seven:

Back to the Squat Thrust and Push Up only this time you are going to add the Leg Lift. This is the same as minutes two and three only this time you will lift the toes of one foot about twelve inches off of the ground only after you have performed your push up. Lower your foot and repeat on the other side. Hop back up to your squat position, stand up, and start again. Keep thinking, goodbye belly.

Minutes seven and eight:

Jump Rope. Same as minutes three and four. Keep thinking, my belly is getting smaller.

Minutes eight and nine:

Back to the Squat Thrust and Push Up only this time you are going to add Mountain Climbers. Repeat everything as in minutes two and three only this time after your push up, you will quickly jog in place from your push up position. Make sure you bring your knees up to your chest on each rotation. Perform 5 jogs and repeat this entire process. Keep thinking, I am going to lose weight.

Minutes nine and ten: 

Jump Rope. Same as you first two minutes. Keep thinking. If I do this everyday, I will get rid of belly fat. Good luck to everyone.

We recommend using a soft padding such as a yoga mat when performing this exercise. This will cut down on any injury and save some of those knee joints for you. If you need more information on gym mats and yoga mats, please visit Ultimate Fitness Equipment - for all of your fitness needs

FORCES FITNESS - Forces Circuit

Forces fitness circuit I did whilst serving abroad.

Circuit Training aims at the progressive development of muscular and circular respiratory fitness. The muscular benefit in the circuit training is mainly endurance and will achieve increased efficiency of complete circulatory and respiration systems.

With this circuit you don't need weights just a mat or some grass and music.
You will be working your ARMS, LEGS then your ABS and a little bit of running, so this workout is not for the faint hearted. It might look easy but believe me if you put the effort in you will feel it. I did this workout 3 times a week and came back from a 4 month deployment very fit and with a good physique.

Do each exercise for 30 secs first time through, then rest for 1min 20 secs, then 15 secs second time through, rest, then if you can 15secs.

Start with
        
                ARMS
                                   Press Ups
                                   Wide Arm Press
                                   Close Arm Press
                                   Tri Dips (on wall or anything knee height)
                                   Arm Punches
                
             LEGS
                                   Squats
                                   Lunges
                                   Squat Jumps
                                   Side Jumps
                                   Lunge Jumps

            ABS
                                  Sit Ups
                                  Leg Raises
                                  Trunk Curls
                                  Cycling Twists
                                  Half Sits


Rest for 2 mins, then depending where your training work out a 25m stretch, a 50m stretch and a 100m stretch. Sprint 25m jog back slowly, then 50m, then 100m do this 3 times through.
It is hard but it will get you fit and you will feel the benifits after a few weeks.
I'd like to say I'm not a fitness instructor or a qualified trainer I'm just giving you some workouts that we did in the forces that helped me stay fit and active.
