Are you looking to change the shape of your body or trying to lose belly fat without joining a high priced gym? If so, try this high energized cardiovascular fitness routine that that was developed by Keli Roberts.

With this 10 minute exercise routine you can burn up to 150 calories every single day.

The first two minutes of this fat burning routine is: Jump Rope - Begin by performing two jumps for each turn of the rope. Safety: Use the correct size jump rope and always land softly on the balls of your feet (that is the upper part of the bottom of your foot). Keep thinking I am losing weight.

Minutes two to three: Squat Thrust into a Push Up. The proper technique for this exercise is to stand with your feet shoulder width apart and your arms strait down next to your sides. Slowly squat down with your head forward and bring your hands to the floor just outside of your feet. Your hands should be pointing forward as well. Then in one movement, push your legs back and out behind you (into a pushup position). Perform one strict pushup and then jump back into your squat position and then stand back up. Keep thinking, the fat is vanishing.

Minutes three to four: Jump Rope with only one jump per turn. Keep thinking, The fat is melting away.

Minutes four to five: Back to the Squat Thrust and Push Up only this time you are going to add the Side Plank. After completing your squat thrust and push up, you are going to lift and rotate your left arm off of the ground and over your head. Your left foot will rotate and rest on top of you right foot. And you will rotate your neck so you are looking up at your ceiling. Rotate back to the center and repeat on the other side. When finished, hop back into your squat position, stand up and start again. Keep thinking, no more belly.

Minutes five and six: Jump Rope. Same as minutes three and four. keep thinking, I am losing body fat.

Minutes six and seven: Back to the Squat Thrust and Push Up only this time you are going to add the Leg Lift. This is the same as minutes two and three only this time you will lift the toes of one foot about twelve inches off of the ground only after you have performed your push up. Lower your foot and repeat on the other side. Hop back up to your squat position, stand up, and start again. Keep thinking, goodbye belly.

Minutes seven and eight: Jump Rope. Same as minutes three and four. Keep thinking, my belly is getting smaller.

Minutes eight and nine: Back to the Squat Thrust and Push Up only this time you are going to add Mountain Climbers. Repeat everything as in minutes two and three only this time after your push up, you will quickly jog in place from your push up position. Make sure you bring your knees up to your chest on each rotation. Perform 5 jogs and repeat this entire process. Keep thinking, I am going to lose weight.

Minutes nine and ten: Jump Rope. Same as you first two minutes. Keep thinking. If I do this everyday, I will lose belly fat. Good luck to everyone.

We recommend using a soft padding such as a yoga mat when performing this exercise. This will cut down on any injury and save some of those knee joints for you. If you need more information on gym mats and yoga mats, please visit Ultimate Fitness Equipment - for all of your fitness needs.

You may have heard of the new diet regimen known as "calorie Shifting". Unlike "low-fat", "low-carb", and "low-calorie" diets, this diet is not "low" in any respect. The focus of this diet is on triggering your body's metabolism by deliberately structuring the type of calories you ingest at what times of the day. This method allows you to eat from all of the food groups and requires you to eat four complete meals each day. Following this diet can yield rapid weight loss results without leaving you to feel deprived.

While the other diets do arguably work, they typically fall into the category of so-called "yo-yo" diets, because the method of weight loss in those circumstances requires you to sacrifice the foods you enjoy eating. Many people eventually give in and sabotoge their diet because of this deprivation. You can only go without bread or without fatty foods for so long. And even if you cut down your calories, you feel hungry throughout the day.

take the Atkins diet for example. Yes you will lose a lot of weight rapidly on this diet. But it is not a diet that is easy to follow. most people who try this diet eventually give up and some even end up gaining all or more of the weight back, because they go on a carbohydrate binge, after having deprived themselves of it.

As for a low-fat diet, you will not experience rapid weight loss. You will end up feeling deprived of the tasty foods that you enjoy eating. And it is very difficult to gauge the effectiveness of this type of diet, because you would still need to combine it with a low-calorie diet in order for it to work.

As far as the low-calorie diet, yes, science has proven that if you burn more calorie you consume then you will lose weight. But on the WeightWatchers diet, you will only lose one to two pounds per week.

Also, science has proven that by starving yourself in this manner, by radically reducing your caloric intake, your metabolism will compensate for the reduction in calories, so that it will not allow you to lose weight as rapidly.

Your body's metabolism is what triggers weight loss and weight gain. Why is it that some people can eat a huge meal and not gain any weight? Why is that some people starve themselves and they don't seem to lose any weight? They reach a plateau.

the focus of the calorie shifting diet is on triggering your body's metabolism by eating the right combination of foods at the right times in order to be conducive to rapid weight loss.

There is no calorie reduction on the calorie shifting diet regimen. You achieve fat loss through following a structured diet plan in which foods from each food group are categorically distributed across four meals on each day that will induce weight loss. Of course you cannot overindulge in food either! But if you follow this diet you won't go hungry either. You will feel satisfied.

This diet is straightforward enough that the inventors of this diet have coined it the "Idiot Proof Fat Loss" diet.

H Khan has been struggling with weight loss for many years and has tried numerous diet plans only to meet with failure each time. It was not until discovering the Idiot Proof Fat Loss Diet that the promise of permanent weight loss became a reality for him.
