So you want to burn more calories?<\/p>\n

Why? Because you goofed up? Hey, it happens. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

Unless you\u2019re rehabbing an injury or working on a muscle imbalance, isolating muscle groups won\u2019t get you fast results.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re frustrated by your lack of progress, you simply have to burn more calories.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the thing\u2026<\/p>\n

You don\u2019t need more time in the gym \u2013 just more intensity.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Here are 5 Exercise Swaps that burn more calories\u2026<\/p>\n

#1: Squats Instead of Leg Press<\/h2>\n

Leg press is great for isolating your quads \u2013 not so much for burning a ton of calories. Here\u2019s why\u2026<\/p>\n

This machine puts a ridiculous amount of force on the discs in your lower back. The expert research on this topic Dr. Stuart McGill\u00a0speaks for itself. It may not break you today, but one day \u201cboom\u201d. Your back will be killing you for no particular reason, thanks to this damn machine.<\/p>\n

Unlike the leg press, the squat forces you to use you upper body muscles to stabilize, which means you recruit more muscle fibers. Instantly fire up your calorie burn!<\/p>\n

\"exercise<\/p>\n

#2: Rowing Machine Instead of the Bike<\/h2>\n

Cardio bunnies listen up. It\u2019s not just about the number of calories you burn IN your workout. You need to elevate your heart rate high enough to boost the \u201cafterburn\u201d effect so you burn more calories post workout.<\/p>\n

Instead of reading magazines on the bike for 45 minutes, the rowing machine or VersaClimber and cut your workout time in half.<\/p>\n

#3: TRX Mountain Climbers Instead of Plank<\/h2>\n

We all know the plank is better than crunches\/sit ups for core training. Blah blah blah\u2026<\/p>\n

But holding a 4-5 minute plank is not necessary. Challenge your core by doing slow mountain climbers on a TRX or Stability Ball. If you don\u2019t have a one, try Floor Sliders\/Gliders instead then tell me how it goes.<\/p>\n

This exercise is so tough; you’ll start speaking French by the time you\u2019re done. And you don’t even know French! \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

#4: Push Ups Instead of Dumbbell Press<\/h2>\n

While I have nothing against dumbbell press\u2026 if you want to burn more calories do push ups.<\/p>\n

Why?<\/strong> You recruit more muscles. And not only that, it\u2019s a better exercise for shoulder health, core stability, and metabolic training.<\/p>\n

If you can\u2019t do a full push up yet… start with an incline variation. Put your hands on the wall or couch, rather than drop your knees to the ground.<\/p>\n

Already a champion at push ups? No worries.\u00a0Challenge yourself with decline push ups, Spiderman push ups or suspend your feet from a TRX and do Atomic Push Ups.<\/p>\n

To make it even MORE fun – change up the tempo and squeeze your glutes\/quads. Feel an extra burn? You\u2019re welcome!<\/p>\n

\"how<\/a><\/p>\n

#5: Chin Ups Instead of Any Bicep Exercise<\/h2>\n

Doing isolated bicep or tricep exercises does very little to increase your heart rate. Try chin ups and work your entire upper body. Surprisingly, you\u2019ll also feel it in your abs, too.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re struggling to get your first chin up, don\u2019t feel discouraged. Here\u2019s a program that will help you<\/span><\/a>!<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

These are just five ways to burn a couple of hundred more calories every workout\u2026 but you can even do much better than that\u2026<\/p>\n

==>\u00a0<\/span>Here\u2019s how to burn up to 1,000 calories a day<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Time to burn more calories\u2026 and perhaps you CAN out-train your poor diet \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
