This fast-paced workout is designed to melt fat and sculpt muscle. All you really need is a set of dumbbells or a barbell – exercises can be modified according to your fitness tools. You will need a pull-up bar (or resistance bands to do pull downs) OR you could do HEAVY Bent Over Row instead of pull-ups. Perform the following exercises with little to no rest between exercises and be sure to record your time. The workout is 2 sets of 6 exercises done 3 TIMES for time. The idea is to perform the moves faster, as you get fitter!

Get ready to sweat!! Try the Fat Burning Blitz. It’s 2 of our BCx Missions (2 circuits done back to back with a short rest in between) that’s coming out with our 6-week boot camp program this spring on FitStudio. The workout comes with video instruction so no excuses!

Give it a try. Rate it, comment on it and share it. We’d love the feedback!!

GET THE WORKOUT

Here’s a screen shot of the page for a quick glance at what the workout looks like, and for those of you (AKA Gene) that may be limited on which sites you can view at work and will know what to do just by looking at the names anyway …here you go!  :) NOTE: the first circuit stops right after the jump rope and should repeat for 3 rounds (I don’t see where it says that on there, but that was how it was written). Then do the second circuit for 3 rounds. Have fun burning calories!!
