3 Fat Burning Muscle Building Bodyweight Exercises

burn a lot of calories not to mention train your nervous system to work more

efficiently..

  muscle at a time

.   If  you’re going to work  hard at the gym you might as

well get as much bang for the buck as possible  Work multi joint movements

and burn more fat. Stay away from single  joint movements such as Bicep curls, Leg

extensions(machines- that’s a whole other topic) e.t.c
