6 Better Fat Burning Bodyweight Exercises For Women

Trying to get a good workout in while juggling all the daily obligations you can be a struggle. For a lot of people, getting to the gym is not an option and, if you are like me, buying a good treadmill is out of the question. And sometimes you need an alternative to walking or jogging. Bodyweight exercises are a good alternative and they are easy and simple to do. They generally don't require any equipment or a large amount of space. You don't need to do too many of them to get a good workout in or to burn a lot of calories. I ran across a website that gives 5 suggested bodyweight exercises for women. They are as follows:
Taken from http://handicapperaids.com/handicapblog/5-fat-burning-bodyweight-exercises-for-women-described

1. Reverse Crunch
2. Side Plank
3. "Front Bridge"
4. Split Jumps
5. Push Ups

While these are good exercises in all, they don't really address the main problem that women have complained about. While 3 exercises address the abdominals, doing these three will not do a whole lot in the way of burning calories, which is what most people exercise to do.  While doing abdominal work will give you firm abs, if there is a layer of fat over them, no one will be able to see them.
What's need is to do exercises that will actually burn a lot of calories. Working the bigger muscles of the upper body and legs, in a circuit or interval fashion will burn a lot more calories than simply cranking out a lot of sit-ups or crunches. My suggestion would be to work the six primary movements of the body through a circuit routine as follows:

1. Squats
2. Push Ups
3. Shoulder Press
4. Side Lunges
5. Abdominal Twist
6. Side Planks

These 6 exercises or variations of them provide a total body workout and done in a circuit will boost your body's ability to burn fat calories.
