7-Day Fat Burning Challenge

7-Day Fat Burning Challenge
This challenge is all about getting rid of the excess fat you don’t want on your body. The problem with fat is that it’s difficult to specifically target where it will burn from your body. The more you work out, and the greater the intensity of your workout, the more calories you’ll burn and the better chance you’ll shed from those key areas! Challenges make us stronger. Feeling strong makes us happier and more confident. The more confident you are, the more willing you’ll be to try new dynamic workouts that will bring you amazing results. What makes this fat burning challenge work is intensity, frequency, and diversity in each workout. This challenge hits each muscle group for a full-body workout. These are all fast-paced workouts that will keep your heart pumping, so make sure you are well-hydrated! Equipment Needed: Interval timer (Gymboss is a free app download), set of medium weight dumbbells(12-15 lbs), yoga mat, or soft surface, water for hydration What to Do: This challenge is spread out over a 7-day period. There is a routine for the morning, afternoon and evening. The morning and afternoon routines will burn fat and increase your cardio, while the evening routine will help build strength. Read the exercises below, follow the routine, and by the end of this challenge you’ll feel more confident to take on an even bigger challenge! And, you’ll be a stronger version of yourself who just happens to have shed some excess pounds. Fat is burned while working out, but helping it stay away is all about your diet.
