Whether you’re just beginning your weight loss journey or you’re trying to drop those last five pounds, getting rid of excess body fat can be a challenge even if you don’t have added stress. Trainers know the key to sculpting a lean, chiseled physique: consistency. You need to push your limits a few times a week, every week, with workouts that intensify as you grow stronger.
The best way to build mental stamina is to grind through the aerobic red zone a couple of times a week. It’s also a mega way to burn through calories. Set aside 30 minutes and work through this gruelling circuit, attempting to rip through the maximum calories, metres and reps each time.
Gulp down as much oxygen as possible in your rest minutes – you’ll need it…Without using any weights, you’ll be done in just 30 minutes!
