Xtreme Fat Loss Bodyweight Workout

by Monica

How do you kick start a new workout plan after some time off from exercise? Get busy with my xtreme fat loss bodyweight workout and build the motivation endurance, and metabolic boost you need for a new workout routine.

My last "real" workout was about 10 days ago and even though I've been hiking, walking and doing a bit of yoga every day for the past 10 days I've really been missing my strength workouts, especially my bodyweight workouts.

So I put together an intense fat loss bodyweight workout to get back on track for a new workout plan (coming soon).

This is a great workout that anybody can do 3 times a week for 1-2 weeks before starting a new workout plan. It's also a great circuit workout that burns tons of fat/calories and can be done anywhere (hotel room, beach, park, backyard, gym, living room, etc.).

Be sure to modify any exercise to your level and check out the daily options if you want to progress faster.
