You have to give those last 5 to 10 pounds hanging around your middle credit: They have real staying power. Like a cold, Madonna, and hipsters, they just won’t go away.
But now you can kick those
pigheaded pounds to the curb once and for all. You just need to make your workout work overtime.
“You can only burn so much fat during your workout,” says BJ Gaddour, C.S.C.S., creator of Men's Health StreamFIT. “If you want to drop those last 5 or 10 pounds, you also need to torch calories when you’re away from the gym—while you’re sitting at your computer, lying in bed, or commuting in the car.”
The best way to do that: a high-energy strength-training program like The Metabolic Supercharge. It incinerates extra weight by jacking up your heart rate (which you can monitor pouding beat by pounding beat on your Fitbit ChargeHR) and keeping your metabolic rate charged for up to 48 hours after you’ve finished your last rep. You’ll pack as much work as possible in as little time as possible with a mix of quick intervals and challenging complexes. And by increasing intensity and density at the same time, your body will release a surge of adrenaline. This creates a rush of energy and stimulates fat loss in stubborn areas like your belly.
It’s a serious workout that gets serious results. While it won’t solve the Madonna problem, it will solve your waistline woes, says Gaddour. Start it today to build your best body in just 6 weeks.
HOW TO DO IT
Alternate between Workout A and Workout B four days a week, resting one day after working out two days in a row.
For both workouts, perform the Charge Circuit first. Rest for two minutes, and then perform the Charge Complex.
Charge Circuit: Do the exercises in the order shown. You’ll perform a move for 10 seconds, rest for 10 seconds, and then move on to the next exercise until you have completed all 6 moves. Do this as many times as possible in 10 minutes.
Charge Complex: Grab a pair of medium-weight dumbbells and perform the exercises in the order shown. You’ll do each move for 30 seconds, resting only as needed between moves. Once you’ve completed all 6 moves, rest 1 minute. That’s 1 round.
Week 1: Do 3 rounds.
Week 2: Do 4 rounds.
Week 3: Do 5 rounds.
Week 4: Do 3 rounds, but use heavier weights.
Week 5: Do 4 rounds with the heavier weights.
Week 6: Do 5 rounds with the heavier weights.
