Best BODYWEIGHT exercises to incorporate to burn FAT!

Many people think that you need a gym membership or fancy equipment to build some muscles and burn as much fat... but you actually DON'T! Many athletes use a lot of these bodyweight exercises. Not only is this much more affordable but you also can do them anytime anywhere! Works for people that travel all the time or don't have the funds for gym memberships or equipment.

Here are 5 of the best bodyweight exercises to help you burn fat in as little time as possible:

1) Jumping Jacks
    These can help you burn fat and get fitter. Use this move as a way to warm up for your upcoming exercises. Warms up your shoulders, gets your heart rate up and just warms up your body to help decrease your chance of injury. This is a great warmup especially for bodyweight type exercises since you use a lot of shoulders!

2) Push-Ups
    Til this day, this is still used by everyone! One of the best upper body exercises and there are a ton of variations for this move alone! You can make them easy by going on your knees and still getting stronger and eventually work your way up to full plank and pushing up!

    PROPER FORM for PUSH-UPs:
    - Keep your head, neck, torso and hips in a straight line. (keep your core tight)
    - Keep your elbows close to your body
    - Lower yourself down, and then push back up in a controlled movement, keeping core                 tight 

3) Squats
    You use a lot of bigger muscles for you legs to squat, therefore burning more calories!

     PROPER FORM for SQUATS
     - Stand with feet shoulder width apart
     - Keep your heels planted, lower your body as far as you can by pushing your hips back and bending your knees until your thighs are parallel to the floor.
     - Make sure knees are not going past toes


4) Burpees
    This move works everything!

     PROPER FORM for BURPEES
     - Stand with feet shoulder width apart
     - At the bottom of a squat, reach out hands onto floor in front of you
     - Kick your feet back into a push up position
     - Return feet to squat position and stand up and jump immediately

5) Jumping Rope
    Gets your heart rate up and many techniques you can learn! Also a great warmup as well to any exercise
