What is the #1 Bodyweight Cardio Exercise?
It’s NOT burpees.
Or jump squats…
There’s one bodyweight exercise I’m borderline obsessed with… I’ve fallen in love! It’s all you need to elevate your heart rate, kick start your metabolism in to high gear and skyrocket your fitness level.
“Go on, what is it KV?”
The Walkout.
Looks harmless, right?
The hand walk out to plank is a totally underrated exercise.
It teaches your abs and lower-back muscles to play nicely together, and also develops strength and stability in the shoulders while creating a “metabolic disturbance” like no other – so that you burn MORE fat in less time.
It’s highly effective because it creates a “metabolic flush” meaning the blood pushed from your legs, to your upper body and back to your legs again in quick succession.
Anyone can do this exercise – whether you’re 20, 30, 50, 60 or more – because it doesn’t impact your joints.
But the coolest thing is the endless variations, to target different muscle groups and make it fun every time!
It’s just like having original flavor fro-yo with different toppings…
Hmmm fro-yo.
You can add any of these awesome exercises to spice up the walkout:
- Mountain climbers
- XMC (that’s KV code for cross body mountain climbers)
- Crab crawls
- T-rotations
- plus much, much more…
But doing one exercise isn’t enough to get you sexy results. You need a strategic plan, like this one.
So don’t confine yourself to the treadmill or stationary bike. Make your workout fun – and challenging – with heart-pumping, calorie-crushing bodyweight moves like the Walkout.
You can use any of these Bodyweight Cardio exercises to fire up your metabolism and crank your afterburn so that you can lose belly fat in half the time.
Have “fun” with that,
