When you are trying to get in shape fast, you need a tough, full-body workout. Looking outside of traditional strength training can save you time and get results faster.
Boot Camps
Outdoor boot camps are a growing trend in fitness. Most have separate programs for men and women, but some are co-ed. The workout varies from day to day to prevent boredom. You will strength-train, do some light running and do some athletic drills. These programs will work your entire body and provide a motivating and inspiring atmosphere.
Kickboxing or Mixed Martial Arts
Kickboxing also provides a full-body workout. You use your arms and shoulders to punch, your legs and butt to kick, and your core to support you during the entire workout. Your heart rate will soar, so you will burn a lot of calories.
Curves for Women or Cuts for Men
This workout is perfect for people who are short on time. In 30 minutes, you will get a full-body circuit workout. Moving from one exercise to the next, with little rest between, will keep your heart rate up, which means you will burn more calories than in a traditional weight-training session. The exercises are designed to work every muscle in your body, and they also provide cardiovascular training.
