I have a confession to make...I hate working out in gyms.  They're dirty, loud and, just a flat out waste of money.

You don't NEED to go to a gym to get in a quality weight loss workout.

More importantly, you don't need to buy expensive cardio equipment to do a fast workout that will burn loads of calories.

Don't believe me?

Here's a quick and simple 10-minute bodyweight cardio workout I made just for you...

So what do you think?  Can you incorporate any of bodyweight cardio workout into your own weight loss program?

Of course you can!  Give it a try a few times per week and be amazed at the results!  You'll be stronger, leaner and your body will thank you. 

A common question I receive after showing people workouts like this is, "What time of day works best for bodyweight cardio?  Should I do it in the morning, before I eat breakfast, or in the evening?"

The short answer is that it doesn't matter.  Whenever you want to do the workout, and have time to do it, is when you should do the bodyweight cardio.  Is there a benefit from doing it first thing in the morning, before eating?  Sure.  Do you HAVE to do it then to see any benefit?  Nope.

You're busy.  You have a ton on your plate, and you don't need an expert like me insisting you do a workout program first thing in the morning, if you don't want to, or don't have the time to do it first thing in the morning.

Personally, I can't train first thing in the morning.  Besides the fact I'm working with clients at 5:30am, my body just doesn't like working out then.  My "sweet spot" is around lunch time, so that's when I schedule my workouts.

Another question I receive about this type of weight loss workout is, "How longs should I do it?" and that depends, again, on your schedule.

If you're busy like most parents, you're not going to be able to carve out a lot of time to do the workout, which is why I designed it to be done in as little as 10 minutes.

So, if all you have is 10 minutes (after warming up), that's all you have to do.  If you have 15 minutes, then do the bodyweight cardio workout for 15 minutes.  20 minutes?  Do it for 20!

I don't like people to do this type of workout any longer than 20-25 minutes, though because it's not necessary and your results may suffer if you do.  The more tired you get from constantly bombarding your body with this type of exercise, means the quality of the workout will suffer and if the quality of the workout suffers, there's no point in continuing.

When I have the time, I like to throw in this type of cardio workout AFTER my regular 10-15 minute resistance workout.  Sometimes that's 3 days per week, and others it's 4 times. 

With personal clients, I try to get them to do it after their regular workout 2 days per week, and then by itself, as a stand alone weight loss workout, 2 days per week.  I've found this to give the best fat loss results, as well increasing whole body strength and helping the abs to start showing.

Sound good?

Give this workout a try and I guarantee you'll be amazed with the results!
