High-intensity training  is the most time-efficient way to burn fat and this 4-minute fat burner combines muscle-building resistance exercises (great for a metabolic boost) with fast-paced cardio to challenge your heart and lungs. This Tabata-style workout will leave you with an after burn effect that’ll have your body torching calories long after your session is done.

The short rests allow your heart and lungs to recover for the next exercise, while the muscle groups challenged switch from move to move to allow them to recover while still keeping you working. This workout is short and effective – but make sure you’re working at a constant high intensity to make it worthwhile.

Instructions:
Perform 20 seconds of the first move, followed by 10 seconds’ rest. Then perform 20 seconds of the next move, followed by 10 seconds’ rest, and so on until you have performed each move once. Then take a minute’s rest and repeat the whole thing.

Adjust the weights you use according to your level.
