A 15-Minute Workout to Change Your Fat to Muscle
By Jennifer Cohen
The truth is you can’t turn one type of tissue into another. But you can
burn more fat and build muscle with short, intense bursts of exercise
that raise your heart rate and get your body working as efficiently as
possible.
This type of high-intensity training over a short period of time can actually burn more fat than moderately-paced, longer cardio sessions. The key to a workout like this is to strap on a heart rate monitor and keep your heart rate at 80% of your target. Try this 15-minute workout every day to start seeing real results.
15 Seconds of Rest
Take 15 seconds to catch your breath!
2. 20 Split Lunges on Each side
3. 30 Seconds of Mountain Climbers
15 Seconds of Rest
5. 30 Seconds of Tricep Towers
Repeat the entire series 3 times!
