  • Now move your hand up into position B as demonstrated in the image above.
  • Keep that position for one to two seconds.
  • Return to the starting position A and repeat.

Note: Make sure to keep your abdominals tightened throughout the entire movement.

Another full body workout that will help take your fat burning to the next level. Oh by the way, you’re going to feel it, especially in your upper body and legs.

But you get the point.

Note: A workout video will be provided further down below demonstrating each exercise.

How to do it

  • You’re going to pull your right knee inward as if you want to touch your chest.
  • Hold that position for one to two seconds and return to the starting position.
  • Do the same for your left leg and repeat the required amount of reps.

  • Go back to position A and do the required amount of reps on each leg.
  • Make sure to squeeze your glutes on every single rep.
