High Intensity 30 Minute Fat Burning Workout

Re-Wire Your Mind and Get Back to Work!

The hardest part about working out is just showing up. If you are like 99% of people in this world, you struggle to find ample time to workout and often have to make time to get it done. Making time, no matter how you feel or how tired you may be, requires you to turn your brain off and just “do”. As a result of doing, your mind begins to build a callous for this way of thinking, opening up different pathways of thought. This is the routine I use time and time again to re-callous my mind and get my body back into the groove of getting after it in the gym.

By starting slow and ramping up gradually, you prepare your body and mind to adapt and accept an active lifestyle. Remember to keep the pace up and to get your heart rate up. You’ll feel 100 times healthier and better about yourself after deciding to tackle this workout!

The Workout:

Cardio:

  • 10 Minutes Stairmaster

    • 5 minutes “Medium to High Intensity” followed by 5 minutes alternating between 30 seconds of High Intensity coupled with 30 Seconds of “Steady State”

The stair master is great because it works to raise your heart rate by challenging your legs to continuously climb a moving set of stairs. Aerobic conditioning is an important aspect of maintaining your overall health and the stair master is a great starting point for workouts of all kind. It helps to get the blood pumping and the heart rate elevated. Use this high intensity stair master workout to burn more calories and increase your metabolism!

  • 5 Minutes Treadmill

    • Jog at a controlled pace for 30 seconds then sprint for the next 30 seconds. Alternate until you hit 5 minutes

This exercise is sure to get the sweat flowing. Make sure to focus on long strides during your sprints and maintaining your breathing pace when not sprinting.

Core Strength:

  • Abdominal Circuit- Complete these exercises as a superset for 4 total sets with 1 minute rest in-between.

    • 20 Crunches

    • 10 Toe Touches

    • 30 Second Plank

This ab circuit is sure to get you toned and chiseled. I find the combination of the crunches + toe touches really set the tone for the plank. It allows you to focus on squeezing and keeping your core tight.  Your core is such an important aspect for your overall health and well-being. When doing these exercises, you should focus on stabilizing and strengthening your core.

  • Abdominal Rope Crunches

    • 3 sets of 15

This exercise should be a staple for anyone looking to get that ripped six pack look. Make sure to feel the stretch on the top of the movement before crunching. Also, be sure to keep your back straight and core tight.

You did it!

With your commitment and this 30 minute workout, you are well on your way to living a healthy and active lifestyle! Remember, it is all about finding your rhythm and it will take time for your body to acclimate. However, if you stay consistent and motivated, nothing will stop you from reaching your fitness goals!
