The One Workout Tweak That Burns More Fat Without Adding Time

You don’t need longer workouts—you need smarter structure.

Try adding supersets or shorter rest periods to your training:

• Supersets = Pair two exercises back-to-back (like push-ups + rows).

• Shorter rest = Keep heart rate up and intensity high (30-60 seconds max).

• Focus on big compound lifts – Squats, presses, rows, and deadlifts burn more calories and build more muscle.

Bonus: This approach also improves conditioning and keeps workouts under 45 minutes.

If your goal is fat loss and you're tight on time—this is the move.

Pro Tip: How to Stay on Track When Traveling or Out of Routine

Life gets busy—vacations, work trips, family events. Here’s how to stay consistent when your routine gets thrown off:

• Have a "minimal equipment" workout plan – Dumbbells, resistance bands, or just bodyweight can go a long way.

• Walk as much as possible – Hit your step goal, especially if you can’t train.

• Stick to 3 solid meals a day – Prioritize protein and veggies, even if eating out.

• Don’t aim for perfect—aim for consistent.

The key isn’t perfection—it’s momentum. Keep showing up in small ways, and you’ll never fall too far off track.

Question from Our Readers:

"Should I be sore after every workout?"

• Brian, 46, from Salt Lake City, UT

Soreness is a sign you worked muscles that needed it—but it’s not required for progress.

• Early on, you’ll be sore often — that’s normal.

• Over time, your body adapts — less soreness doesn’t mean you’re not growing.

• Chronic soreness can mean overtraining or lack of recovery.

What matters more:

• Progressing lifts (more weight, reps, control)

• Good sleep, nutrition, and recovery

• Staying consistent over time

Train hard, recover well—and don’t chase soreness.
