Are you an experienced workout vet? Are you still striving to achieve that defined chiselled physique that you see on celebrities and professional fitness models? Well you’re in luck… This killer elite fat burning workout is exactly what you need as it’s perfectly designed to drop your body fat levels, so you can show off all that hard earned muscle you've been building. It uses the right exercises at the right intensity to ensure that you lose body fat without compromising lean muscle.

Hold on to Hard Earned Muscle

One of the biggest dilemmas that exercisers have when training to reduce body fat, is the loss of lean muscle. A reduction in calorie intake along with an increase in energy output can often result in a drop in muscle mass. A well designed fat burning workout will be based around muscle endurance to increase fat burning potential whilst also preserving as much lean muscle as possible. This workout will train the upper and lower body parts 3 times per week to make sure that you preserve your hard earned muscle, whilst increasing your energy output to burn more fat.

Maximum Fat Loss

The CV interval session is designed to compliment the weights sessions to burn more calories and ultimately burn more fat in the long run. Interval training has been proven to burn more calories than steady state training in less time so its ideal for stripping off the body fat.  With Interval training the session length is much shorter, this means that more of the energy comes from fat and glycogen stores rather than lean muscle tissue. Successful reduction in body fat levels is a combination of getting the right energy balance between energy in (food) and energy out (exercise). A good diet combined with weight training and CV exercise will help obtain the best results.
