Blast Fat with Basic Exercise Moves
It’s nice to get back to the basics sometimes. As people all over the world are becoming more health conscious, there is an overwhelming amount of exercise information, routines and equipment available. For those who are new to exercise, it can be intimidating and quite dangerous without the proper form or accurate use of exercise machinery. Fortunately, all exercise equipment and advanced exercise routines are derived from a single (or group of smaller) movement. Knowing the foundation of the more advance exercises and creating workout routines made of basic beginner lever workout moves can produce results with the safety of simplicity.
The workout below is made up of level 1 exercise moves that most people without injuries or major joint issues can do. If you are new to exercise, have any known cardio-respiratory problems, or have trouble with your knees start by leaving the jumps out and working your way up.

Great exercises...my problem: i can workout sunday,monday, tuesday and wednesday, then i have three days in between without exercise..my schedule is like that and there is nothing I can do. What do you recommend?
Hi, this looks great- thanks for it. Could I ask how many calories one would burn in doing it? Just so I could log it

"butt kicks" are pretty much exactly what they sound like. Run in place, and try to kick your butt (get your hell as close to your glutes as possible).
