Resolved to finally lose weight this year? Well, you need to mix up your workouts so they stay challenging. This will help keep your heart rate up, and force your body to burn more calories.

The following workouts will not only burn serious calories, but they will also push your body way past your comfort zone. If you’re not actively exercising already, then perhaps that it might be better to ease into exercise in order to help prevent injury.

Below are some easy to follow calorie burning workouts:


Interval Workout

Interval training is all about challenge and recovery — over and over — for a cardio blast. You can do intervals many different ways — running, on any sort of cardio equipment, or in a pool. 1. Warm Up: On the treadmill, with the incline set at a challenging angle, power walk at a speed of 3-3.5 for 7 minutes. Keep your elbows up above your heart. Stop, get off the treadmill, and stretch.

2. Sprint: Drop the incline to 0, increase the treadmill speed, and sprint hard for 30 seconds. Aim for 90% of your maximum heart rate. To recover, bring your speed down to 3.0 and walk for one minute.

3. Squats: Get off the treadmill and squat, with your bottom out to the rear and your legs slightly apart. Then jump from the squatting position into the air, landing in the same squat position as before. Do this for one set of 15 or 20, working your quadriceps. To intensify the exercise, hold dumbbells by your sides.

4. Overhead Presses: Do 15 or 20 overhead presses with the weights, pushing them straight up and directly over your shoulders.

5. Sprint: Get back on the treadmill and sprint for 30 seconds (no incline). The goal is to be at 80% of your maximum heart rate. To recover, decrease your speed to 3.0 and walk for one minute.

6. Tricep Extensions: Using dumbbells, do one set of 15 or 20 overhead tricep extensions. Your elbows should point toward the ceiling, with the weights behind your head. Lift the weights directly above your head and back down again.

7. Push-ups: Do one set of 15 push-ups, with your elbows at a 90-degree angle from the body. Modification: Do the push-ups with your knees on the ground, but do 25 instead of 15.

8. Sprint: Back to the treadmill. Sprint for 1 minute, aiming for 70% of your maximum heart rate. To recover, jog for 90 seconds.

9. Jumping Jacks: Do one set of 15 or 20 jumping jacks. If you’re strong enough, add two 10- or 15-pound dumbbells — lift up the weights when you jump out, in an overhead press position, pulling them back down to shoulder height as your legs go back together.

10. Finale: Incline your treadmill to an angle that really challenges you — but don’t hang onto the treadmill’s rails. Walk at a 2.0-3.5 speed for 30 seconds, aiming for 60% of your maximum heart rate. To recover, bring the treadmill down to a 1.0 incline and drop your speed to 1.9 or 2.0 for a 1-minute walk. Finish by stretching.

Body Weight Blast

As fast as you can, do 10 squats, 10 push-ups, and 10 full sit-ups. Then do nine reps of each. Then eight, seven, six, and so forth, until you reach one rep of each exercise. Rest as little as possible between sets. Record your time and try to improve each week. 1. Bike or use the Row machine for a minute.

2. Sprawl with push-up. Run in place, with your feet just coming off the ground, for a count of five. Lower yourself onto your hands, jump your legs backward to a push-up position. Do one push-up, then bring the legs back, tucking them in. Stand and repeat for 1 minute.

3. Squats. With hands on top of your head, squat so your knees are at 90 degrees — make sure they do not go past your toes — and then stand up. Repeat for 1 minute.

4. Side jumps. With feet together, toes pointed forward, jump from side to side for 1 minute.

5. Rest for 5 minutes.

6. Row or bike for 1 minute.

7. Scissor jumps. With one leg in front and the other in back, jump and “scissor” your legs before landing. Do this for 1 minute.

8. Sumo jumps. Squat down, then jump, bringing your feet slightly off the ground. Do this for 1 minute.

9. Jumping jacks. Do these for 1 minute Repeat the full set four times, nonstop, for a 16-minute workout. Cool down, and then stretch.

More Calorie Burners

There are lots of other great options for burning calories through exercise. Here are some:


• Playing a sport – Tennis, Basketball • Running or Jogging • Taking an aerobics class • Spinning (stationary bike class) • Dancing (the faster you dance, the more calories you’ll burn) Exactly how many calories you burn depends on your weight – and how intensely you do the exercise! Keep Fit!

"I started online workouts with Reema about 2 years ago. She built full body routines for me that have developed use of and then strengthened most all major muscle groups of my body. She is steady in her teaching, knows all about true fitness and anatomy, giving tips that clarify any problem areas and difficulties, so one can progress. She is a hard task master, pushing you to push your limits, varying routines and repetitions, building agility, building strength, which when one sees and feels the results, it is really the best accomplishment in the world.
