To get your body really burning into those fat stores our workouts needs to concentrate on the main muscle groups to do most of the work for us. This means that part of your workout will work with the upper body, the mid section and the lower section. But on alternate days the workout will concentrate on the lower section because that is where most of the bodies muscle groups are found.
This workout is one which I have personally tested and have got fabulous results with. If you are looking to investigate further into this workout it can be found in the abs diet for women by David Zinczenko.
Because most of the body’s muscle is found below the waistline this is where most of the fat burning and muscle building occurs in the least amount of time. Working this gian muscle mass triggers the release of hormones that stimulate muscle growth throughout your body, kick your fat burners into overdrive, and give you that thin-as-a-dime stomach you want in no time flat.
In one Norwegian study, people who focused on lower-body work gained more upper-body strength than did those who emphasized upper-body exercises in their workouts. But that’s not to say you will ignore your upper body nor are we talking about becoming a muscle builder. I am simply indicating that muscle growth assists fat burning so our circuit training with light weights will focus on the larger muscle groups of the upper body including the arms, back, chest, abdominals and legs to trigger all of the major muscle groups into fat burning and muscle growth.
This circuit if you follow it is designed to reshape your legs, shoulders, arms chest and abdominals into a lean fit shape that you will be proud of.
This is designed to be a circuit training exercise program and the following workout schedule should be carried out in its complete entirety without a break. Then take a 30 second to 2 minutes (depending on your fitness) rest at the end and repeat the entire circuit. In the first two weeks only do the circuit twice then after the initial two weeks step it up to 3 times. Also as the weight becomes easier increase it by 10%.
