Flat Belly Circuit Training Workout for Building Your Summer Beach Ready Body

C. Carey Yang,  Certified Personal Trainer
Dream Body WorkoutXpert
It’s April 30 today – the last of April. Weather has been getting better for the spring. And we’re looking forward to summer beach and outdoor season.

Rome wasn’t built in one day, nor is your beach-ready body. It takes time, consistent training with supported nutrition and supplementation.

Instead of waiting until Memorial Day’s weekend to start summer shape-up fitness plan, I’m beginning to journal summer beach-ready workout, training, nutrition and strategies today.

Here is a 5-exercise circuit training workout routine that guarantees to boost your metabolism, challenge your whole body and core, blast calories and burn fat like crazy, because I did it this morning. And I was so pumped up, sweating and my legs were shaking.

I’m feeling good and looking great!

Here is the first summer beach ready workout routine. It’s a circuit training so do these exercises one after another with no or little break (15 seconds at most). Then rest for 2 minutes and repeat for a total of 3 to 5 circuits.

1. Forward Walking Lunges with 1-DB @ 35# Overhead Hold x 8 steps

2. 1-DB @ 35# clean and split jerk x 8 reps

Switch hand for the dumbbell. Repeat 1 and 2 for the other arm holding dumbbell.

3. Barbell Squat Down, Stand up and Side Twist by holding 45#Bar+25# with one hand x 10 reps

4. Barbell Woodchop Oblique Twist holding 45#Bar+25# with the same hand x 10 reps

Switch hand. Repeat 3 and 4 for the other side with the other hand.

5. Bodyweight Fingertip Pushup x 5 reps, then standard pushups x 25 reps.

The Biggest Loser Boot Camp Commander and Celebrity Personal Trainer Carey Yang Offers 9 Strategies to Burn 500 Calories

Are you ready for the summer? Are you beach-body ready?

It's about time to get really serious slimming down and shaping up.

The Biggest Loser Boot Camp Commander and Celebrity Personal Trainer Carey Yang Offers 9 simple tricks to help you burn 500 calories. Yang is the president, owner and master trainer of Beyond Fitness Solutions, LLC.

Breakfast
Swap your bagel for an English muffin to slash 220 calories, a glass of whole milk for skim to save 70 calories, and a three-egg omelet for one egg and two egg whites, or pork sausage for turkey sausage to cut about 125 calories each.

Lunch
Try wearing a pedometer to measure out 10,000 steps a day or about 5 miles. You’ll automatically burn 500 calories without even hitting the gym.

Dinner
Rather than depriving yourself of food to drop pounds, simply use smaller plates. If you shrink the size of your dishes by a quarter, such as going from a 12-inch plate to a 9-inch plate, you’ll cut 500 calories without feeling deprived.

Dessert
Save up to 400 calories by making grilled fruit kebabs. Slice one peach and one small banana into quarters, thread four pieces fruit each onto two skewers, and brush with one tbsp honey each. Grill each side for about 4 minutes, or until flesh is tender but still firm. Sprinkle on cinnamon. Or, if you want to have your cake, cut a thin slice of pound cake, layer on berries and top with light whipped cream for a decadent-tasting dessert for less than 150 calories.

Dining Out
Before you head to a chain restaurant, check out the nutrition information on its web site. You’ll be able to make smarter meal choices. Instead of having Chili’s Steak and Portobello Fajitas for 1130 calories, you can choose Chili’s Classic Chicken Fajitas for just 360 calories—a savings of almost 800!

At Work
You can burn up to an extra 500 calories a day without doing a lot of activity simply by standing rather than sitting,. It can make the difference between burning 120 calories an hour versus 60 calories. If you can’t get away from your desk, try standing to make a phone call or read a report. Even shutting your office door to squeeze in 5 minutes of pushups or jumping jacks can burn another 50 calories.

Watching TV
Do some exercise during commercial break such as jumping rope or jogging in place. It burns about 10 calories a minute. If you watch an hour of TV a night and add cardio moves during the 10 commercial breaks that typically air, you could blast up to 300 extra calories without missing your favorite shows.

On Weekends
It's good to sleep in on weekends. Studies show people who get less than 6 hours of sleep eat up to 300 calories more during the day because a lack of sleep triggers the production of the hunger hormone, grehlin. Each extra hour of sleep could save you 100 calories. So don’t set your alarm on Saturday, and if you snooze, you lose.

During Workout
You can burn up to an additional 250 calories in a half-hour, or 500 in an hour, by incorporating intervals versus exercising at the same pace Whether you’re swimming laps, running, riding a stationary bike, or using the treadmill, you can increase the calorie burn by picking up the pace to the point where you are so out of breath that you can’t even talk for 30 seconds, then slow down for one and half minutes to recover.

Morris County Biggest Loser Boot Camp's Toughest Strength Trainer Reviews Jillian Michaels' New Book

With eight million viewers in each NBC hit show The Biggest Loser, Jillian Michaels has catapulted from a California personal trainer to a household name as the America's toughest strength trainer.

Love her or hate her? Maybe both. It's a tough-love.

Her no-BS, no-excuse, take-no-prisoner approach to weight loss and fitness training is exactly what I'm embracing.

More than just losing weight and getting fit, Jillian just released her new book "Unlimited: How to Build an Exceptional Life" that is aimed to help many people to transform their life and build an exceptional life that lasts.

Losing weight involves both inner working and outer workout. Two-thirds of Americans are either overweight or obese. It's a $100-Billion-a-Year weight-loss industry. So many people make their New Year's resolutions to start exercising and eating healthy. Half of them give up by summer. Then they go on diet. The vicious dieting cycle goes around again until holidays.

People must make decisions and really commit to themselves to making the changes. They  have to address to root causes of overweight, not just to patch up the symptoms.

It's about the relationship with YOU. It's about removing the inner roadblocks that prevent you from achieving what you want. In the end, it's about becoming the person you say you want to be.

'Unlimited" helps you understand and use your power to make positive choices that leads to making your dreams become a reality in every aspect of your life.

"Unlimited" offers inspiration and strategies to help the readers build an exception life. It's a must-read for anyone who needs a dose of inspiration, motivation, a roadmap and a complete how-to plan.

Imagine. Believe. Achieve.
