Try this fat loss routine to work out your entire body for the most effective of results.

How does it Work?

This routine, just like option 1, makes working on the abs the first priority. It also focuses on a variety of exercises that are compound in nature so that more muscle groups can be recruited and at the same time, calories get burned at an exceptionally fast rate.

Directions

• The first exercise should be performed in the manner of straight sets.
• All exercises are to be performed in a circuit fashion.
• Repeat as soon as the rest period is over.
• Adjust loads and equipment as you deem necessary.
• If you want a fat loss routine for your entire body, you can either substitute this routine for option 1, or combine the two routines.
• You can alternate both the routines if you choose to do three sessions every week. For this, you will have to keep a day of rest between the workouts and then rest for two days before you repeat the cycle.
• Rotate the reps and sets on exercises J through M in the following manner:
  • 3 sets of 10 reps
  • 2 sets of 15 reps
  • 4 sets of 5 reps
