Losing body fat is a common fitness goal for many individuals. While a balanced diet and overall calorie deficit are essential for fat loss, incorporating regular exercise can significantly accelerate the process.

In this article, we will explore eight effective exercises that can help you eliminate body fat and achieve a leaner, healthier physique.

HERE ARE 8 GREAT EXERCISES THAT CAN MELT FAT FROM YOUR ENTIRE BODY:

JUMP SQUAT

• For this exercise, you will not need any weights. Simply stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and your arms at your sides or on your hips.
• Next, lower your body back down into a squat, but be sure to keep your torso upright and your buttocks back.
• When you reach the bottom of the squat, jump as high as you can and then lower your body back down into a squat.
• Do this for 3 sets of 60-second reps.

CRUNCHES

• No HIIT workout would be complete without working your abs! This one is super simple.
• Simply lie on your back with your hands flat at your side or behind your head.
• Raise your torso and at the same time raise your legs to perform the crunch.
• Make sure not to pull on the head or neck.
• Hold the position for 2-3 seconds and then release.
• Do 3 sets of 40-second reps.

JACKKNIFE

• This exercise for your abs is basically a crunch except your arms and legs are stretched behind and in front of you.
• Lie on your back with your arms and legs extended.
• Then, raise your arms and torso at the same time as you raise your legs.
• You can bend your knees slightly, but try to keep them as straight as possible.
• Touch your hands to your feet and then let go.
• Do this exercise for 3 sets of 30 seconds.

LATERAL SQUAT

• Alright, enough with the abs; We’re back to the legs! To do this, you can choose to use dumbbells or just your body weight.
• If you use dumbbells, hold them above your shoulders and squat your body.
• Tighten your glutes and hamstrings, and when you’re almost standing again, lift your right leg to full size while continuing to squeeze your glutes and core.
• Keep your leg raised for a couple of seconds and then lower it back down.
• Repeat on each side for 3 sets of 30 seconds.

GLUTE BRIDGE

• This exercise is also very simple. All you have to do is lie on your back with your knees bent and heels on the floor.
• Keep your arms extended at your side or behind your head.
• Squeeze your glutes and lift your hips off the floor until your knees, hips, and shoulders are parallel to the floor.
• Hold this for 2-3 seconds and then release. Again, do 3 sets of 30 seconds.

DONKEY KICK

• Get on all fours with your hands under your shoulders and your knees under your hips.
• Squeeze your glutes and kick one leg back and up with your knee bent, squeezing the top of the exercise for 2 to 3 seconds.
• Slowly return this leg to the starting position.
• Repeat for the other side, and do 3 sets of 45 seconds this time.

SWIMMER

• This is a great full body exercise! Lie face down with your arms and legs extended.
• Keep your palms facing down and a few inches off the floor.
• Next, lift both legs off the floor and lift your torso slightly.
• Raise your alternate arm and leg in the air and tighten all the muscles in your body.
• Repeat on the other side and do 3 sets of 30 seconds.

TABLE ROTATIONS

• To begin, start in a push-up position.
• Next, tighten your abs and place the weight on your right arm.
• Raise your left arm and rotate it until it points up. Hold for 2-3 seconds.
• Slowly return to the starting position and switch to the other side.
• Do this for 3 sets of 20 seconds per side.
