Have you ever noticed how easy it is for some female athletes to maintain a very lean physique? It's because they workout at a high intensity level and have super fast metabolic rates.
High intensity workouts are better at boosting your metabolic rate than lower intensity workouts.
Your metabolic rate is the rate at which your body burns calories.
The faster your metabolic rate, the more fat you will lose.
The best way to create high intensity workouts is to perform circuit training.
Circuit training is where you perform two or more exercises back to back with little to no rest in between each exercise.
My first circuit training workouts consisted of basic pushups, pullups, and body weight squats.
However, over time, I became stronger and these exercises started to become too easy for me.
Hence, I started looking for some brand new exercises that I could include into my body weight workouts.
There are many resources you can use to find brand new body weight movements.
For example, what I do is observe athletes that use body weight movements to create incredible bodies.
Some of these athletes include dancers, gymnasts and yogis (people who practice yoga).
You'll be able to come up with some extremely interesting moves as you observe how these athletes move.
My current body weight workouts are extremely unique and challenging.
This helps me stick to my workouts more.
When you stick to your workouts, you get results.
It's as simple as that.
But don't make the same mistake I did and keep performing the same basic movements over and over again.
Your body is a highly adaptable machine and needs lots of variations to keep improving.
