Do these 5 exercises to burn fat fast... and you won’t even need any fancy gym equipment

We live incredibly busy lives. Adding a gym session or heading out to yoga may seem like too much. But including a workout in your daily routine doesn’t have to be so difficult. Even a simple home workout can yield results and help you become fitter and healthier.

Here are 5 exercises that you must do to burn fat. Squats: This is the best warm-up exercise to fire up your muscles before doing anything more vigorous. Stand with your legs apart and keep them in line with your shoulders. Stretch out your arm and try to go in a seating position. Try to do at least 15 reps three times during a session. Squats help you build leg muscles and strengthen your core.

Lunges: This helps you engage your core and improve mobility. Keep your upper body straight, with your shoulders back and relaxed, take a step forward and go down in right angle. Pushups: This is great to build your core muscles. Pushups also help you strengthen your arms over a period of time. Lie down on the floor and push yourself up with the help of your hands. Repeat this and go down till you are parallel to the ground. Try to do at least a minute or two of pushups; take rest in between sets of 20.

Plank: Want abs of steel? You must include a few sessions of planks in your workout routine. Lie on the floor on your stomach and using your elbows lift your body above the ground. Hold this position for at least 30 seconds, increasing by 10 seconds each set.

Burpees: These are a good way to get a highintensity routine into your workout. It’s a full-body exercise that gets your heart rate up. Try to get a full minute of burpees and then you can attempt a few variations. Take rest for 30 seconds between sets of 1 minute each. Then cut the rest time to 15 seconds.
