Fat Loss Workout For Women

by Susan on November 24, 2009

images-3Here is a fat loss workout for women that can be done at home or in the gym, that will be sure to burn body fat, get you strong, and give you a flat tummy.

But first, as you know, I personally enjoy going to the gym to exercise. I often go swim or do intervals on the track with friends. But lately, since I sit in front of my computer for 14 hours each day, I have started going late morning to help break up my day and get me out of this chair.

Yesterday, I was pleasantly surprised to see a women, I would guess about 50 years old, working out in the free weight area. This isn’t all that unusual these days as more women are becoming savvy to the best exercises to burn fat and are staying off the machines.

However, not only was she doing a few exercises with weights, she was actually doing some pretty intense exercises! I have never seen a 50 year old woman do clean and presses with dumbbells! And I loved it!

Finally, women are starting to understand that a superior fat loss workout consists of serious resistance workouts and interval training. Slowly but surely!

Here is an intermediate level workout you can try at home whenever you can take a break from your busy day. And if you have the time to head to the gym, or enjoy it like I do, then you can certainly do this workout there as well.

Remember to complete all exercises in each set with little to no rest in between each one.
