Fat Burn During a Cardio Workout

Walk, walk, walk!

Your cardio will benefit from a walking routine. It’s best to do a ‘power walk’ for 20 minutes a day, a few days per week. It’s best to do the power walk every other day. Added benefits come when you can manage to walk up steps part of the way – this helps different muscles do their thing.

Take it up a notch – and back down again

Blast that fat with a super high intensity treadmill session. For the next 5 minutes, warm up slowly then increase your speed. Spend the next 5 minutes at this higher speed. Continue in this manner until you’re at the highest speed possible and run for 5 minutes. Then, decrease in the opposite manner and once more, increase to the highest level. Again, decrease and aim for the cool down.
