Fat-Loss Workout
This Simple Workout Was Crafted by a Fitness Trainer to Help You Lose Fat
If you want to burn fat, the best workouts involve a combination of strength training and high-intensity intervals. Personal trainer and strength coach Susan Niebergall adds, "Workouts don't have to be long and complicated. In fact, sometimes the shorter more intense workouts can turn out to be some of the best."
This "Fat-Loss Workout" crafted by Susan is perfect to do when you're on the road or at home and have limited access to equipment — all you need is a pair of dumbbells and a bench. Susan told POPSUGAR, when choosing the correct dumbbell size, "You want to pick a weight where you can complete the reps but the last two to three are really challenging." If you are just starting out, be conservative with the dumbbell size. "If you can complete all the reps fairly easily, it's probably time to increase the weight."
