Cardio Training

In my opinion, outdoor exercise is the best way to exercise and burn fat. I don't care how hot or how cold the weather may be, I have to get outside and exercise. That's what makes exercise fun for me.


So, the question for you is this: how do you make exercise fun? If you have allergies, exercising outdoors might not work very well! If you are stuck in a rut exercising in the gym, give outdoors exercise a try. You might not ever go back indoors much!

Here are my Top 5 Outdoor Exercises to Burn Fat:

1. Running intervals on grass or sand - If you're serious about toning your body, do running intervals for your cardio exercise. The faster you run, the more fat-burning benefits you will get.

Sprinting activates and shapes your bulky, fast-twitch muscles fibers better (think butt, hips, thighs and calves). Your upper body and core will also get quite a workout.

Try 20 minutes of running intervals this way:

--Sprint for 60 yards
--Walk back to start
--Sprint for 60 yards
--Do this rotation for 20 minutes

2. Soccer, flag football or basketball - All of these are fun exercises and you don't have to think about it. They are all ready-made for intervals, speed and power. When's the last time you played a pick-up game?

3. Biking - It is full body exercise perfect for doing intervals, mileage rides or just having fun. Everyone should have a bike.

4. Hiking trails or hills - Hiking is fun group activity for the weekends. Packing the extra weight of your bags makes it more challenging. Hiking is definitely full body exercise and a good change of pace for you to try.

5. Walking intervals - Walking is underrated. I believe you should walk every day to keep your lifestyle more active. Speed walking intervals will help you burn fat and is a great alternative to running (easier on the joints).

If you need to change up your routine, try getting outdoors more to exercise. The birds will sing to you.
