Exercise Tips for Fat Loss at Home

This full body HIIT workout with dumbbells focuses on maximizing intensity using compound bodyweight exercises that allows you to maximize calorie burning with minimal equipment. If you’re looking to use this workout often ensure that you rest a day in between during the week.

No matter how intense your training, you must ensure you consume less calories than you burn daily if you want to lose fat.

Push in each set because as you do more sets, your muscles start to fail a lot quicker, therefore if the exercise asks for a certain amount of reps, push for that amount for each set. The amount of sets and reps are mainly a foundation that should ensure that you can do at least 3 sets.

Note: You can add push ups to the Renegade Rows for more intensity and work more muscles.
