Total Body Weight Training Workout For Fat Loss

This week's workout is a full body weight training workout designed to lose body fat but keep your all important muscle.

Most people try to lose weight with diet and cardio which is a noble method but they risk losing quite a bit of muscle.

Having muscle is good to preserve weight loss as it is metabolically active and burns calories throughout the day - not loads, but every piece of the puzzle helps.

This workout is designed to work the front and back of the body to give you a well balanced weight loss workout. You'll be burning calories for a few hours after this workout.

Warm Up:

• Pick the first 4 exercises and perform 10-12 reps of each exercise at about 50% of the weight you would use during the workout.

Workout:

• The exercises are to be performed in pairs. E.g. A1 + A2 for 3 sets. B1 + B2 for 3 sets and so on.
• Example. Perform A1 and go straight to A2. Then rest for 60-90 secs and repeat 2 more times.
• Then move on to B1 + B2.
• Perform all the pairs for the desired repetitions.

Cooldown:

• Nice easy walk on the treadmill for a few mins OR
• Breathing exercises to slow the body down OR
