Double Your Fat Burning with This Cool Trick!

Do you enjoy walking outside or on a treadmill? How about riding a stationary bike? Want to know how to double your calorie burn without breaking into a sprint or wearing out your legs before burning all that fat?





Here's a terrific solution:






Grab a pair of light dumbbells (1 or 2# dumbbells if you are smaller and have less muscle, 3# or 4# if you are pretty strong, and 5# if you are very strong) and start walking or riding.


Then, keeping your movements as smooth and fluid as possible (same tempo every inch in both directions), follow the two movements illustrated in the three pictures above, and then reverse them to get back to the starting point (arms back down to your sides.) I do recommend one modification, though. Instead of turning the palms forward to get the weights to your shoulders (getting from the position in the first image to the second), keep the palms in toward the spine (and each other) throughout the two-part movement. It's a little easier on the elbows and wrists.

Simple, right?

Not only will you more evenly distribute the workload between all the major muscles in your body, but you'll reduce the load on your hips, ankles and knees (because you'll be more controlled with your lower body bio-mechanics in order to combine all the movements), and, maybe best of all, you'll just about double your energy (calorie) output!
