There are those that don’t believe a 5 minute fat burning workout without equipment can be very effective for fat loss. Then there are those that will try this home fat burning workout and be convinced they were wrong. In this video I give you a bodyweight routine that consists of just 3 exercises that, when performed at a high intensity level, will help you to start getting rid of body fat at a much faster clip.

The key to the effectiveness of this workout is the effort. As you will quickly see, each of the exercises in this routine would be classified as traditional body fat burning exercises. They are all very effective for improving your conditioning while helping you to burn calories in your training. That said, when they are performed at a low intensity and done in more of cruising through your workout fashion, then they are not nearly as effective as they can be.

So how do you do this workout then? It’s actually quite simple to execute just difficult to make it all the way through. You start with the simple mountain climber and ratchet up the intensity level immensely to move your legs as fast as humanly possible for 30 seconds. Now I realize that not everyone will be able to move at the same pace. That is fine. The key is that you are moving as fast as you can move. This will likely be an eye opener and you will see how quickly you were likely not moving as fast as you could on this exercise.

Next you perform 20 seconds without resting, of a side kick through. This exercise will help develop the muscles of your core while improving the stability of your shoulders. Of course, when done at the much more rapid pace demonstrated here, you will be able to ramp up the fat loss benefits of the move as well. As soon as you are done with this you move into the last exercise in the sequence which is a squat burpee.

The traditional burpee exercise is one that is known for its ability to burn fat and improve conditioning. That said, it can be a bit slow and drawn out. Not a great fit for this 5 minute fat burning workout routine for that reason. Instead, you can ante up the intensity of the exercise while shortening the range of motion by performing the squat burpee instead.

As soon as you complete this last move you will get a brief 10 seconds rest. Then, immediately cycle back to the mountain climbers and do them for 10 seconds, follow that with 30 seconds of the side kick through and finish with 20 seconds of the squat burpee. Rest 20 seconds and then do anther round, this time doing each of the three exercises for whatever time period you have yet to do them for. Take a 30 second rest and finish up with 20 seconds of each move without rest to end this 5 minute fat burning workout.

As you’ll see, it doesn’t take long to get in an effective workout but you have to be willing to work for it. We pull no punches with ATHLEAN-X, and we always shoot straight with you. That said, we know how to get results faster than most because of this.
