If buying an expensive fitness center membership is out of the question and you need to lose belly fat without doling out cash, there is a routine that can help you out. With this fast-paced high-power cardiovascular workout you can burn 225 calories or more each day with about 15 minutes of fun exercise.

Many individuals are not lucky enough to have enough time or cash to go to a gym and get the activity their body needs. Nevertheless, if you have the time to allocate just 15 minutes a day to a regular fast-paced workout routine you can lose some of that belly fat you are so anxiously wanting to eliminate.

If you want to burn fat and improve your overall wellbeing the secret is not working out intensely, but working out consistently. Fat burning is done with a steady exercise program. Weight loss is an achievable goal if you just come up with a good strategy and do it consistently. And the great thing about staying healthy and losing weight is there are lots of differing types of exercise routines, so you can choose the one that most appeals to you. The specific routine listed below can be a terrific way to lose stomach fat.

To obtain the greatest profit from an exercise routine it ought to be done a minimum of 4 or 5 times each week. If you put forth effort you can be the recipient of the rewards. If you do not put in the time and energy you won't be able to lose weight or stay in shape. The following routine will only require 15 minutes of your day, but it is fast-paced and will help you get back into shape. If you have some time after your exercise program, walking briskly for two to four miles each and every day is also suggested.

The following exercise routine is one half jumping rope and one half squats, sit-ups, and push-ups. By moving from one exercise step to the next, with no break in between, you can finish in 15 minutes. Every part of the routine will take just 90 seconds. Perform as many of every exercise as you can during that 90 second time period and then immediately move on to the next step.

Step 1 - We will start our routine by jumping rope. Get a jump rope and begin jumping, taking one jump for every turn of the rope. This is able to get your heart pounding and blood flowing, in addition to helping you to warm up for the subsequent steps.

Step 2 - Start in the standing posture, bend you knees and squat, turn over on your backside, move your feet closer to your rear by bending your knees, keeping your feet flat on the floor, and do 5 stomach crunches. Do not go all the way up to your legs every time, just high enough to get your abdominal muscles to work hard. When finished with 5 tummy crunches roll over onto your stomach, get back to the squatting position, and return to the standing position. This whole process is one rep. Do as many reps as possible during the 90 second period.

Step 3 - We are back to jumping rope again. Do the same thing you did during the step 1 by hopping once for every turn of the rope. It will be more work this time around, so just do what you can. As you get in better shape you will improve.

Step 4 - This is almost like step 2, but you will perform push-ups as a substitute for abdominal crunches. Get started from a standing position, squat down like you did in step 2, place the palms of your hands on the ground, move your feet further behind you until you are in a good position to perform push-ups, and do just one push-up. Move your feet back closer to your hands until you are back to the squatting position and then stand up. This is a single rep. Carry out as many reps as you can during the 90 second period of time.

Step 5 - We now get back to jumping rope again. This time around we are going to do two revolutions. We will be jumping one time for every two revolutions of the rope. The rope needs to be swung around pretty rapidly to make it around twice, but with a little practice you will be able to do it. If you cannot do it correctly just perform one turn of the rope until you are able to do two.

Step 6 - Repeat step 2.

Step 7 - Here we go again, more jump rope. Do two revolutions again. If they are still too difficult for you just do single revolutions until you are capable of two. In time you will want to do single turns of the rope in steps 1 and 3, but double revolutions in step 5 and 7.

Step 8 - Repeat step 4.

Step 9 - Now for our final rope jumping. This will be more of a warm down so you will only do single revolutions this final time. 

Step 10 - The same as step 2. Congratulate yourself because you made it. Now do this exercise routine every day and watch the belly fat disappear.
