What’s the difference between a 10 Minute Fat Loss Workout and a 15 Minute Home Workout? Simple – in reality you can’t lose a lot of fat with a 10 minute workout. That’s just something sly fitness instructors use to make a quick buck. A 15 Minute Home Workout is different. Think about times when you were to do a regular 45 minutes workout and suddenly something came up. You have two choices – not workout at all or work out for the 15 minutes that you have. Just to clarify: Why am I calling this a 15 Minute Home Workout instead of just a 15 Minute Workout? Because I’m pretty sure that if you have only 15 minutes to train, then you cannot have the time to travel to a gym and change twice. 15 Minute Home Workouts involves bodyweight, dumbbell, skipping rope and kettlebell. One thing that you must realize is that if you’re going to cut down on training time, then training intensity becomes even more crucial. So don’t just go through a warm up type workout because you have less time. Herewe’ve got routines that you can do with just your own bodyweight. I feel that many people underestimate the value of bodyweight exercises, and thus don’t reach their peak potential. So here are workouts that you can try whether you’re a beginner, intermediate or an advanced trainee. 15 Minute Home Workout for Beginners Using Bodyweight: 10 (hands on bed) 15-20 times squatting up and down on bed 12-15 Crunches 50 Punches as fast as you can Take 1-2 minutes rest and repeat the circuit as many times as possible 15 Minute Home Workout for Intermediates Using Bodyweight: 6 6 (each leg) Reverse Lunges 6 Hindu push-up 12 Squats 6 (each side) Side bridge Rest 1 minute or less and repeat as many times as possible. The idea is to do as many circuits as possible in 15 minutes. More than 5 circuits would be a good number! 15 Minute Home Workout for Advanced Trainees Using Bodyweight: NOTE: It’s a little tough to make a generic routines for advanced fat loss trainees who have used only bodyweightexercises without knowing what exact exercises they have been doing upto this point. At the very least, here are two workouts that you can try: 500 squats in 15 minutes Alternate between push-ups and squats and do as many reps as possible with no rest (or maybe just a few seconds) I have of course not included any jumping type exercise in this routine like burpees because I feel that if you’re training on a hard surface at home then jumping too high forcefully could be a problem. Thus I have stuck to safer options. So go ahead and start of with these 15 Minute Home Workouts when you are short on time and cannot get in your regular fat loss workouts. And I’ll be back soon with more such routines… Arnav is an ACE certified strength and conditioning coach based in Kolkata, India. He firmly believes that “fitness is fun, and it’s for everyone”.
