You Will Need

Remember to consult your physiciain before beginning any new diet or exercise routine.
To maximize amount of fat burned, combine this routine with a regular cardio workout for at least 30 minutes 4 days a week.
This workout can be done at home or the gym. If you don’t have dumbells available use a heavy text book or if you don’t have a step use your desk chair instead!
Step 1: Side Lunge with Arm Raise
Standing with feet hip width apart, holding onto a dumbell in front of your belly, arms straight. Lunge left out to the side while raising dumbell out in front of chest, keeping arms straight. Return to starting position. Repeat on left side to complete 1 rep. Do 12 reps, rest 30 seconds. Repeat for a second set.
Step 2: Single Leg Straight Leg Deadlift
Holding weight/or text book out in front, standing tall, lift right left behind you as you hinge your upper body until it your torso and right leg are parrallel to the floor, move weight towards your toes, stand up and repeat on same leg. Do 12 sets, switch standing legs, and repeat. Complete 3 sets.
Step 3: Tricep Push-up With Walk Out
Bend at the hips, feet hip width apart, place hands on floor. Walk hands out until you are in plank position. Keeping elbows close by sides, do a push up. Walk hands back towards feet to starting position. Repeat for a total of 10 pushups. Rest, and repeat 2 more times for a total of 3 sets.
If the Tricep Push-Up With Walk Out is too difficult, bend knees in starting position and you can also go down to your knees to complete the push ups.
