One of the ways to get the most rapid results from your workouts is directly related to the intensity of each exercise. In this workout, each exercise is intended to be performed at a high-tempo for maximum intensity.

What You'll Need

A pair of 5-8 lbs dumbbells.

Exercise 1:Deadlift to Squat-Press (High tempo)

Stand with feet about shoulder width apart.

Hinge at the hips with a minimal bend in the knees and lower the dumbbells in front of your legs. Return to your starting position and bring the dumbbells up around shoulder level. Squat down and then simultaneously stand up while pressing the dumbbells over head. Repeat for 20 repetitions.

Exercise 2: Swing Squats (High tempo)

Hold a dumbbells with both hands in front of your body.

Perform a squat and simultaneously stand back up while swinging the dumbbell until it is just past chest level. Repeat for 20 repetitions.

Exercise 3: Alternating Split Squat Rows (High tempo)

Stand in a split squat (lunge) position with your feet wide apart as if you are standing on a balance beam.

Hold dumbbells in both hands at an angle next to your body.

Alternate pulling back each arm into a rowing motion at an angle while squeezing the back and rear shoulder. Repeat for 20 repetitions.

Exercise 4: Seated Crosses with Sit Up (High tempo)

Sit on the floor with your dumbbells. Make sure your chest is high and your head is neutral with legs on the floor in front of you forming a "V" shape.

Bring elbows in tight to chest with dumbbells below chin.

Punch the right arm across your body to the left while rotating torso. Return to starting point and alternate to the left arm punching across your body to the right. After punching each arm, bring both dumbbells back to your original starting position, and lie back onto the floor momentarily, then sit up to your original seated position and begin your alternating cross punches again followed by the sit up. Repeat for 20 repetitions (left punch, right punch and sit up is one repetition).

Tips To Success

Workout in a circuit mode, moving from one exercise to the next with minimal rest. Warmup for about 5-7 minutesAlways finish your workouts with a cool down and stretching routine Perform one set of all four of the above exercises consecutively with minimal rest in between each. Drink water and recover for 60 seconds, and repeat the entire circuit for 3 sets for an intense ten minute workout. If time allows, repeat for a total of five sets.With this in mind, use your best judgement whether your individual fitness level is at a point where high-tempo, maximum intensity workouts are safe and responsible.Never perform an exercise at a high-tempo if you cannot maintain the proper exercise form.

What is the best walking speed to burn fat?

Speed Matters When Walking for Fitness If you're walking for your health, a pace of about 3 miles per hour (or about 120 steps per minute) is about right. That's a 20-minute mile. To walk for weight loss, you'll have to pick up the pace to 4 miles per hour (or 135 steps per minute), a 15-minute mile.

Here's a quick way to figure out how fast you walk. Instead of timing yourself on a measured track, you can calculate your walking speed by counting your steps. Once you're warmed up, count how many steps you take in a minute of walking (or count your steps for 20 seconds and multiply by 3).

Walking for Weight Loss

The first step in losing weight may be walking without changing a thing you eat. With dieting, the focus is too often on input and calories. However, the other side of that equation: calories out is more important. Burning calories by boosting your metabolism through activity, not pills or diet promises, may be a far more successful way to lose weight. Walking helps you shift your attitude toward health, fitness, and weight loss. Change doesn't happen overnight -- nor did gaining those extra pounds. Take a year to move through these three steps (at least 16 weeks for each step) to make gradual but positive lifestyle changes.
