With the kids back to school, Moms finally can get back on schedule with their workouts. Here’s a sample one-month fat-burning training program for busy moms just like YOU! It features the one-two rapid fat loss punch of body weight-based circuit strength training and high-intensity interval training cardio!

I have had the pleasure of working with many females as a fitness boot camp instructor. More specifically,Guest Posting I have trained a lot of moms who are looking for fast results that work with, not against, their busy lifestyles.

Labor Day weekend signifies the end of summer and the beginning of the new school year. This tends to be a “bummer” for kids and a “thank you God” for moms, ha ha. Seriously, it’s tough for moms to get their workouts in during the summer with all those summer activities kids have these days like travel, sports, SAT classes, and whatnot. And the school day for kids opens up that workout time that’s been missing all summer for moms, so no excuses ladies!

Without further adieu, here’s a sample one-month fat-burning workout for busy moms just like YOU! It features the one-two rapid fat loss punch of body weight-based circuit strength training and high-intensity interval training cardio.

These workouts are best performed either immediately upon waking before having to get the kids up, showered, and fed, or immediately following a child’s departure for school. WHY? Because Mom’s need to get their workout done first thing in the morning before something more important comes later in the day (it always does). Trust me ladies, nothing beats a 20-minute EXPRESS workout that will have you in pure fat-burning mode for the rest of the day so you can tackle life’s daily stresses with vigor!

Fat-Burning 20-Minute EXPRESS Cardio Workouts For BUSY Moms

These workouts can be completed in 30 minutes or less and consist of 3 separate sections to be performed in the exact order listed:

I. Warm-Up- 5 minutes total

II. Intervals- Perform the prescribed number of rounds for 20 minutes total

III. Cool-Down- 5 minutes total

Key Terms:

– Carb-Burning Zone (CBZ) = Perform all-out, high-intensity sprints for the designated period of time. Make sure to work as hard as you possibly can during these sprints for your current fitness level. In other words, you should be working at an Intensity Level of 8-9 on The Perceived Exertion Scale of 1-10 (10 being maximum effort).

– Fat-Burning Zone (FBZ) = Perform low to moderate intensity active recovery for the designated period of time. Make sure to select a pace that allows you to sufficiently recover for the next sprint. In other words, you should be working at an Intensity Level of 3-5 on The Perceived Exertion Scale of 1-10 (10 being maximum effort). In general, this is the same pace you should use for both your warm-up and cool-down.

–    1 Interval = CBZ+FBZ = 1 Round

Cardio Workout A    

– CBZ = 30 s
– FBZ = 30 s
– 1 Interval = 1 minute = 1 Round
– Perform 20 rounds for a total of 20 minutes of intervals

Cardio Workout B

– CBZ = 60 s
– FBZ = 60 s
– 1 Interval = 2 minutes = 1 Round
– Perform 10 rounds for a total of 20 minutes of intervals

Important Notes-

–    Utilize any form of cardio exercise to perform these interval workouts. The two best options are outdoor running (avoid treadmills) or indoor/outdoor cycling.

–    Feel free to perform an additional 15-30 minutes of low to moderate intensity steady-state cardio in the FBZ AFTER completing your interval workouts to further accelerate the fat loss!
