Tri-Set Fat Burner: Slim Down In Less Time

http://ifttt.com/images/no_image_card.png

Summer is just around the corner, which means it’s time to sculpt your body and have it ready to hit the beach. While there are plenty of programs that emphasize high-volume exercises, you can still get your desired results by turning up the intensity without increasing the duration of your workouts, thus allowing for more time on the beach.

Obviously, the beach muscles would be the target of these exercises. The areas that are covered up wouldn’t be part of this collection of workouts. Tri-sets aren’t entirely new in the world of fitness, but the particular approach you’ll learn here might be. You will maintain the familiar fast-pace, quick-switching style as you move from one exercise to the next, but your rep changes will change alongside the exercises. Aside from experiencing pump like you’ve never had before, you’ll also enjoy an awesome cardio finisher to allow your body to burn calories long after the workout and boost your endurance at the same time.

If you decide to perform all the routines on the same day, then you must be sure that you go through each tri-set twice at most. Each routine is created to serve as a standalone program, albeit one that you can modify according to your own unique fitness needs. Also, the cardio finishers are designed for you to get the most out of each phase of the workout, but you can feel free to swap them around based on your own preferences.

Each exercise must be executed for 12 reps before moving on to the next exercise listed in the three-exercise tri-set. Each tri-set fat melter can be done for three to four sets, making sure that you maintain proper form and controlled repetition speed.
