As summer wanes and winter creeps ever nearer, you may find something else is also creeping up on you. Autumn tends to be accompanied by a slow creep of girth around the mid-section.
And even if you manage to fend off this slow creep, you still have the upcoming holiday season to think of. How you eat is going to have a lot to do with how well you weather the storm. I strongly recommend you check out Fat Burning Kitchen to help you with that.
But I’ve got another secret weapon for you. Below is one of my favorite bodyweight workouts for fat loss. In one minute, do three reps of the three exercises below. Take the rest of the round to recover before starting again at the top of the next minute. Do that 20 times...
3 x CST Frogger
3 x Lunge Jump
3 x CST Swing Split
Be forewarned, this bodyweight workout is deceptively easy for the first couple rounds. Don’t be fooled...
And make sure you blast through your three exercises as quickly as possible. You may be tempted to dawdle through it and take your entire minute to get the exercises done. But if you go that route you’ll soon run out of gas. The only way to make it through is to go as fast as you can and then spend the rest of the minute on recovery.
If you are more into training with equipment right now, you can also click through to check out my colleague Craig’s super popular fat loss program.
The important thing is to synch up your nutrition and your exercise to come through the dark months in fighting form for Spring. Keeping yourself lean and healthy year round is a pursuit that will pay dividends in mood, energy, vitality and longevity.
So make, borrow or buy a plan and get to it…

Thanks Adam, I know it might see easy, but it's not. I really love this kind of sets - you don't "waste your time" in our busy lives. I'll put this one behind my ear and use it after really heavy xmas dinner - just kidding.

For swing splits and jump lunges: 3 on each side, right?

Tried this tonight....TORCHED. Very challenging but very satisfying.
The first few sets are so easy you're wondering what's the point.....but from about 13 thru' 20 was a battle for the finish line.
Superb workout, thanks a million Adam.

“Turbulence Training” by Craig Ballantyne is a book that lives up to it’s name. In a dramatic departure from traditional weight loss techniques, Craig brings you a book that is as turbulent as it’s subject. You can feel the enthusiasm pouring out of the book as he leads you through a series of steps that will blow out everything you thought you knew about weight loss.
