I’ve already told you that cardio alone is not the way to go for eliminating  fat. Today I will take things back to basics. To burn fat you need to build muscle and burn calories. As you know from previous articles lifting weights is the best way to burn calories and build muscles. There are certain types of exercises that are a must when you’re trying to develop  a lean, athletic, sexy, body.

Multi joint exercises will build the most muscle and burn the most fat period.  Multi joint exercises are exercises that use movement across two or more joints. One reason these exercises are so effective is, they mimic everyday activities. Walking, jogging and lifting are all movements that take place at multiple joints, they are also activities that require more muscle. Wouldn’t it make sense to provide resistance to movements we  use everyday? Wouldn’t it also make sense to exercise as many muscles as you can at once? That’s what you do with multi joint exercises. When you jog on a treadmill for 30 minutes you will initially burn more calories than If you were to lift weights for the same time, generally speaking. The key with lifting weights is your body will continue to burn calories throughout the day to maintain your newly developed muscle. A few examples of multi joint exercises are listed below.

Squats

Lunges

Bench Press

Push Ups

Pull Ups

The video below provides you with eight multi joint exercises to help you get started.
