Bodyweight exercises are the most effective type of fat burning training because with each movement you work multiple muscle groups, making your body work hard, thereby boosting metabolism and giving you a tremendously intense fat burning session.

With bodyweight exercises, you use your own bodyweight to perform simple sequences of movements that that will strengthen and stretch your body, tone and define those abs, build phenomenal endurance and stamina and literally blowtorch that stubborn fat.

Bodyweight exercises differ from other training programs in that they're faster and more enjoyable than endless cardio workouts, and a whole lot better for your muscles and joints than punishing heavy weight lifting routines. And more importantly, they produce the quickest results by giving you real life doable exercises that will make a difference to your health and fitness today.

As everyone knows these days the best way to see if someone works is to test it.

Here is a fantastic bodyweight exercise workout that you can do in 20 minutes or less that will immediately demonstrate to you the superior results achieved with this training system. Try for 2-3 times per week for a four week period, and marvel at the results. That's between 8 and 12 sessions.

Go somewhere that you will have a little peace to train. You want a place that you can do a short run, whether that's around the block, a track or a nearby. Its up to you. Bring a notebook and pen and write down your routine.

1. free squats - you want to stand up straight, and then lower yourself as tough preparing to sit down on a chair, pick a number 10, 20, 50, 100. Go for a number that challenges you,

2. push ups - assume the normal position, and begin to press them out. Again select a number based on your overall physical condition that challenges you, whether that is 10, 20, 50 or 100. You decide.

3. measure out a half mile distance, and time how long it takes you to run it. Walking is fine if you're only beginning but make sure you time it all the same. By the end of four weeks if you walking at the beginning you'll be jogging, if you're jogging at the beginning you'll be running, and if you're running at the beginning you'll be sprinting.

This program is an introduction to bodyweight exercises. For the more advanced athlete, try 3 repetitions of the above.
