How to Burn Fat While Weight Lifting

When most people weight lift, they take a short rest during their sets. Additionally, many weight lifters decide to do only one exercise at a time. By implementing a combination of routines at the same time and not taking rest during sets, you will keep your heart rate up and keep on burning fat throughout your routine. Continue reading this article to help you understand how to do this at home, your gym or anywhere else.

Instructions

• 1

  Start your exercise routine with a cardiovascular workout such as running or biking. This will help you to get your body's heart rate up before you start your weight lifting routine.

• 2

  Choose two weight lifting routines to perform in succession and make sure that you are picking two exercises that work out different muscle groups so as to not cause fatigue in one muscle area. For example, if you want to do preacher curls (a bicep workout), then your other exercise you choose should be for your legs, triceps or any other muscle other than your biceps.

• 3

  Finish one set of weight lifting for one muscle group and then immediately move to another part of you weight lifting routine that will exercise another muscle group.

• 4

  Repeat the sets between both muscle groups without resting in between. This keeps your heart rate up.

• 5

  Continue this pattern until you have completed your workout routine.
