Make your body a jiggle-free zone with these fun, fat-blasting moves.
Blast Fat With Plyometrics
Does your workout make you jump for joy...
Well, get ready to get lean by catching some air! Called plyometrics,
this hot breed of cardio is an addictive way to incinerate fat fast.
"Plyometrics burns the maximum amount of calories in the shortest amount
of time while toning the body from head to toe," reveals trainer Roya
Siroospour, creator of Explosive 30, a new Crunch/Miami plyometrics
class.
We tapped Siroospour to create this energizing plyometrics circuit just for Health: It blasts an extremely impressive 350 calories in less than 30 minutes.
Here's how it works
Do the workout four times a week, and you’ll trim up to 2 inches off
your belly and 3 inches off your hips in three to four weeks. Do each
move for 30 seconds, rest for 30 seconds, then go to the next. Once you
finish the cycle, rest for two minutes, then repeat twice more.
Best of all, you don’t need any equipment—just something you can jump on, like a low bench or step.
Squat Jumps
Stand in front of a step or bench with feet hip-width apart. Bend your
knees and push your hips back to come into a squat—don’t let knees go
past toes.
Push into the balls of your feet, and jump up onto the
step, landing with both feet together in squat position. Step back down
to starting position and repeat.
Sumo Jumps
Stand with feet shoulder-width apart and hands clasped. Bend your knees
and push your hips back to lower into a squat, keeping knees behind
toes.
Explode up off the ground, jumping as high as you can while raising your arms overhead. Land back in squat position and repeat.
