I get asked all the time, “What is the best fat loss exercise?” In reality, there is no single “best fat loss exercise”. Instead, you must have a database full of several extremely effective fat loss exercises. When you have many great exercises to choose from, you will eliminate mental boredom and physical staleness, and you will always keep your body challenged. This helps ensure continued progress, prevents overuse injuries and keeps you excited to workout.

That being said, I do have some favorites. I will now share with you one fat loss exercise that consistently sits on the top of my list. This exercise is particularly effective and can be performed anywhere without any equipment whatsoever. Even better, it is one of the most time efficient exercises you can do. When done properly, just a few quick minutes of this exercise can burn as much fat as biking for an entire hour!

The exercise that I’m going to teach you is called the Advanced Burpee. Since the effectiveness of this movement is greatly determined by technique, I will describe to you in detail how to perform an Advanced Burpee properly. Below, I will explain how to do the movement, step by step.

1) Stand with a hip width stance. Squat down and put your hands on the ground slightly in front of your feet.

2) Now, quickly kick your feet back and lower your chest and hips to the ground. This move will essentially put you in the bottom position of a push up.

3) Then, push your chest away from the floor while simultaneously thrusting your legs back up into the squat position with the hands still on the floor.

4) Finish the movement by explosively jumping up in the air. Upon landing, quickly drop back down into the squat position and continue for the prescribed number of reps.

You’re probably wondering, “How many should I perform? When should I do Advanced Burpees?” The truth is there are many ways to integrate this exercise into your routine. Explaining all of the options is beyond the scope of this article. Instead, I will provide you with one option that is simple yet effective.

Set a stopwatch for five minutes. Perform as many quality Advanced Burpees as you can during the five minute period. Push yourself. After the five minutes is over, write how many reps you performed. Then every time you repeat this workout, exceed the number of reps you completed during the prior training session.

Continue this pattern until no further progress is possible. Once you reach this point, it’s time to alter your workout.

You now have a very effective fat burning routine that utilizes one of the best fat loss exercises. Even better, it takes only five short minutes to perform. Be sure to challenge yourself! Your results will speak for themselves.
