Quick Workouts for Fat Loss
February 7th, 2008 · Filed Under: Abs Exercise · Podcasts
Quick workouts and interval training were the topics of episode #3 of The Great Fat Loss Debate with Scott Tousignant and Scott Colby. Can you increase the intensity of your workouts so that you can shorten your workouts to 10-15 minutes a day and still get great fat loss results? Well the research is saying yes you can, and in my own workouts I have gotten great fat loss results with short, intense workouts. In fact, I often will string together three of four of these four-minute interval circuits together from my Four Minute Workout DVDs for a quick, but very effective fat burning workout.
Should you ignore all long, traditional, low to moderate intensity workouts? Well this is up for debate. In fact, this is much of what Scott Tousignant and I debated in our podcast. Ultimately, whatever you enjoying doing for your exercise is what you will stick with and make you happy. That is most important.
Scott T and I would love for you to listen to us debate the topic of quick workouts for fat loss. Please listen the podcast below and then click on the link that says Comments so we can hear what you think.

Thank you both - I really appreciate your balanced view and encouraging folks to experiment to see what works. There is too much of “one-true-right-and-only way” out there. Thanks again for the inspiration!

Hello Fellows;
A great topic and a great discussion!!!
Results are what counts! For myself I like doing the short 10 minute workouts when I can’t go to the gym..it is short and fast..I found since going to the gym I have reached a plateau and now have to incorporate more intense workouts because my body has become use to the workouts I do at a moderate level
so to keep getting results I have had to step up and increase to a higher intensity workout..also any workout especially a short and fast workout gets the heart rate up which in turn increases the oxygen levels which in turn clears the mind and then can help the body to become calm and relaxed at
a resting state..thanks for sharing a healthy alternative so we can have a healthier body..

I’ve been doing resistance training coupled with intervals for a few months with good results, but I hurt my knee. I’ve been able to modify my resistance workouts but I’m having trouble finding any interval exercise that I can do while my knee heals. I just tried dumbbell swings, which is all of the leg envolvement I can take for now and I could use some more ideas.
