Try these seven fun fat-burning exercises

Burning that stubborn fat is an important process for weight loss. But you don't want to lose all the fat, as your body requires good fat and a lot of which you have, isn't really good. However, it's not an arduous task. Say goodbye to boring workouts and try these seven fun equipment-free exercises:

* Burpees: This one exercise will give you all the cardio and strength training you need. It instantly takes the heart rate up. It also maintains muscle, as it comprises squats and push-ups.

* Jump squats: This movement challenges your body in lesser-known ways. It's explosive and high in energy. The jump will increase the heart rate and the immediate squat will give you strength.

* Mountain climbers: This one might feel like a punishment, but when you get the hang of it, you will love what it does to the body. Gradually increase the speed moving your legs faster, your abs, shoulders, and legs will feel the burn.

* Skipping: You need to keep a skipping rope handy because this is an amazing exercise for fat loss. Jumping rope burns a lot of calories, toning the legs and arms.

* Brisk walking: You should at least get 10,000 to 12,000 steps a day. Ensure that your arms swing, allowing the heart rate to go up inducing fat burn.

* Jumping lunges: These can help you gain muscle mass, mainly in your glutes, helping you achieve a toned butt and legs. And you will feel the burn in your quadriceps or thighs.

* Squats: This is the most fundamental lower body exercise. Squats will make you stronger, slimmer and give you that toned butt you wanted.

For an effective workout, you must be able to transition from a high-intensity session to a low-intensity one and vice-versa within few seconds.
