If you've ever scoured the internet and magazines for workouts you'll more than likely find your fair share of workouts ranging from pure weight loss workouts, muscle and size building workouts, body fat loss workouts and so on.
On top of this, all these workouts are suited to different people, be a middle aged women trying to rid belly fat or a young high male who is trying to gain muscle mass in the off-season for when he goes back to high school to play football. For obvious reasons you wouldn't recommend one workout to the other person. It's for this reason why a Beach Body workout should stand out on its own as a workout. It's not a fat loss workout and it's not a muscle building workout it's a million dollar beach body workout!
So, what constitutes as a great Beach Body Workout?
I think most would agree that a great Beach Body workout should be a workout that gets you in to the most physically appealing shape as possible. For most people this would mean to target body fat to a level where nothing sags or jiggles or hangs over the side of your shorts. so essentially a good beach body workout should be one which reduces body fat and increase lean muscle mass to reveal an overall more defined and sculpted look or what most people refer to as "toning up".
What's the best way to do this?
Well from my experience Circuit training workouts are one of the best Body Fat Burning Exercises. On top of that, it builds lean muscle which gives more definition to the shoulders, arms, abs, legs, gluteus and almost every other region in the body.
For women, I would say DO NOT be afraid of building some lean muscle. I know the first thing that comes to you head when I mention muscle is big freaky looking bodybuilders but you have to trust me that this will never happen you.
The great thing about having more lean muscle is that your weight is less likely to fluctuate so dramatically because the muscle you are carrying burns up calories from food. Ever wonder why some of your friends who play sport can seem to eat what they want without getting fat? Well it's because their metabolisms are so active from the abundance of muscle they are holding.
Here's a typical Beach Body fitness Workout;
Complete this circuit right though with no rest for one set. Complete this 5-6 times 3 times per week. On top of this include cardiovascular exercise such as running, rowing, and swimming or cross training for a 30-45 minutes 2 times a week. This should leave 2 days for resting.
