Combining cardio, core and strength exercises simultaneously to create an all-round HIIT workout is a sure-fire way to get the results you need fast.
HIIT, short for High Intensity Interval Training has many benefits when it comes to fat burning.
Being short and intense in nature you are able to burn a lot of calories in a short space of time. With the added benefit of what’s called the after-burn effect or EPOC, Excess Post-exercise Oxygen Consumption. It’s the amount of oxygen your body needs to return to a normal state, this process requires calories and energy to make that process happen.

All of the 10 workouts are perfect for burning a lot of calories and helping you lose that unwanted belly fat.
