5 ways to drop fat without cardio
#1. MULTIJOINT EXERCISES
These are your typical squats, bench press, deadlifts and bent-over rows – all of these exercises activate a lot of muscle mass.
Also, you can look to the tire flip and farmers walk if you’re looking for something non-conventional – they work great!
#2. TRAIN IN CIRCUITS
Your upper and lower body exercises need to be alternated so that you don’t get tired in one place – you get tired all around!
Try to rest as little as possible between the sets to keep your pulse up which will make your body use the aerobic instead of the anaerobic energy system.
#4. REDUCE WEIGHT
If you want to burn fat, keep the weight lower than what you would usually lift when you’re training for strength or mass.
Don’t go all the way on each set, this will exhaust you and you probably won’t be able to finish the circuit.
You need a weight that will leave you within 2-3 reps of muscle failure, giving you the size and strength, and also prompting an improvement in cardiovascular fitness and endurance.
#5. KNOW WHAT’S IMPORTANT AND WHAT IS NOT…
If you want to be bigger and stronger, as opposed to being thinner and leaner, this training style isn’t for you – try straight sets instead!
So, to sum it up:
STYLE: Full-body circuit
CIRCUITS: 6-10
EXERCISES PER CIRCUIT: 6-8
REPS PER SET: 10
FREQUENCY: 3 times per week
EXERCISES: Multijoint exercises
