Put Your Fat Burner of the Week to Good Use!
Get ready to jump!
After receiving more than a few emails on how to put the fat burner of the week into an actual workout, I wanted to follow up that post with some real world application.
Since squat jumps is a high intensity exercise, it is important to watch your rep count. By limiting the number of repetitions, you will be able to better concentrate on your form and technique as you complete each rep. Also, squat jumps are a plyometric movement and therefore, you should keep each set's rep count fairly low.
Let's take a look at how you can turn this one exercise into a 4 set heart pumping workout.
Use the following example to perform your fat burner of the week:
Set 1: Complete 10 squat jumps jumping as high as you can
Rest 10 seconds and then move on to set #2
Set 2: Complete 10 squat jumps jumping as high as you can
Rest 20 seconds and then move on to set #3
Set 3: Complete 10 squat jumps jumping as high as you can
Rest 30 seconds and then move on to set #4
Set 4: Complete 10 squat jumps jumping as high as you can
Use the increasing rest periods to enjoy a little greater recovery between sets. This will enable you to complete the 10 reps with better form.
Good luck and go burn some body fat!
