5 Minute Fat Blasting/Body Toning Circuit

In todays blog I'm going to be sharing with you one of my fat loss and body toning circuits utilizing my Core Fire Training techniques. This is a mini dumbbell circuit which is great for total body strength and fat loss and also for core strength and conditioning.

All my Core Fire Training circuits feature a resistance training exercise super-setted immediately with a core exercise. All exercises are timed and each circuit only takes 5 minutes. Don't let the short amount of time fool you, these circuits are challenging and very effective. Each resistance exercise is going to be done for 1 minute followed immediately by a core exercise (floor planks) which is going to be held for 20 seconds. Notice that there is a 15 second break in between super-sets which will give your body a little time to recover, yet keep your heart rate elevated for maximum fat burning.

Core Fire Training Mini Dumbbell Circuit:

1. Dumbbell Hang Clean/Push Press - Done uni-laterally (one side at a time) for 30 seconds each side
1a. Floor Plank - 20 second hold

2a. Floor Plank - 20 second hold
