[Exercise for Weight Loss] The Three Most Effective Exercise Methods for Burning Calories

If you're tired of the routine of sweating and burning calories on a treadmill, feeling like a mouse on a wheel, now's the time to change things up. Here are three more efficient and shorter workouts: 55-second squats and push-ups, 10-meter sprints, and jumping jacks.
You might get bored with treadmill workouts, not only because they're boring, but also because, as Dan John, a California fitness coach and author of *Never Let Do*, says, "The human body isn't designed to move on a conveyor belt, in a single direction and repetitively." Therefore, John proposes three workouts to help increase your workout speed. Furthermore, the best part about these exercises is that "you won't have any distractions during the workout because you'll be completely focused on the movement."

The 55-second squat and push-up
combines the squat and push-up movements. The exercise is simple, and you do 10 sets, resting 30 seconds between sets, ending with 55 squats and 55 push-ups. This exercise trains both cardiovascular fitness and muscle strength.
1 squat, 10 push-ups;
2 squats, 9 push-ups;
3 squats, 8 push-ups
...
10 squats, 10 push-ups

The 10-meter sprint
combines a 10-meter sprint with nasal breathing. Breathing through the nose is more strenuous than breathing through the mouth, increasing the intensity of the training. During the sprint, breathe in whatever way you prefer, either through your mouth or nose.
After one deep inhale and exhale through your nose, sprint 10 meters at full speed.
After two deep inhales and exhales through your nose, sprint 10 meters at full speed.
After three deep inhales and exhales through your nose, sprint 10 meters at full speed.
...
After N deep inhales and exhales through your nose, sprint 10 meters at full speed.
When should you stop? Sprint until you can no longer breathe through your nose, meaning you are extremely breathless. Of course, this exercise may not be suitable for home training.
Jumping
jacks are very common in both the National Army and the US Army training, often starting with 50 jumps. The movement is very simple, but try it, and you'll find that jumping jacks are not easy at all.
Perform the correct jumping jacks as quickly as possible within 10 seconds; rest for 10 seconds.
Perform the correct jumping jacks as quickly as possible within 20 seconds; rest for 20 seconds.
Perform the correct jumping jacks as quickly as possible within 30 seconds; rest for 30 seconds.
