Video Post: Rapid Fat Burning Workout With Upper Body Emphasis… by Brad Campbell
Let’s keep the extreme fat burning going today with another highly effective at home workout. With this one, I took into account the fact that a lot of our followers may not yet have the strength or stamina to complete some of the more challenging bodyweight exercises for the entire prescribed work interval.
For example, many people have troubles with pull ups — they either don’t possess the back and bicep strength to complete a full-ranged pull up, or maybe they can get a few… but cranking out one after the next for more than 5-10 seconds is just not gonna happen.
If you fall into this category, don’t worry. This is an exercise that takes lots of strength and therefore, lots of repetition to become more efficient…
In this fat burning workout video, I’ll show you a routine that utilizes the two most important upper body (bodyweight-only) movements… and show you how to use simple modifications to build up your strength and stamina.
Watch the video first, then read below for the specifics…

To be honest, I couldn’t make more than 2 rounds using strict form and doing pull ups for 45 seconds — that’s a LONG time. So, don’t feel guilty… leave your ego behind and use some assistance, but focus on pushing off that assistance as little as possible, and whatever you do, don’t stop early.
Most of you will have an easier time with bodyweight push ups, so try to do regular push ups for as many rounds as you can, then drop to your knees when you can no longer make it for 45 seconds straight.
For part two, either use a jump rope or try for high knees — stay on the balls of your feet and keep the abs tight throughout.
Workout equipment you’ll need:
2) Pull Up Bar
Instructions for this fat burning workout:
PART I: 45 secs of pull ups, 15 secs rest, 45 secs of push ups, 15 secs rest… repeat x 4 (10 min total)
PART II: 20 secs of jump rope (or high knees), 10 secs rest… repeat x 19 (10 min total)
Being that we’re all about balance, symmetry and creating perfect body proportions… we’ll be back tomorrow with a similar fat loss workout that emphasizes the lower body and core.
Talk to ya tomorrow.
Your Coach,
Brad Campbell
