Working out is not supposed to be a leisurely stroll in the park.

To push your body to its potential and to burn more calories, don't take long breaks between exercises. 

Rest no more than 30seconds after each set or exercise to keep your body shedding calories and body fat. 

If you're doing your own fat-burning circuit, try this:

- Pick at least 6 full-body exercises performed consecutively

- Use a 2:1 work/rest ratio for each exercise, eg. if a set of Squats lasts 40 secs then rest no more than 20secs before moving on to the next exercise. If the set of say 30 squats takes you 60secs then rest no more than 30secs etc.

- Aim to burn at least 600 calories by the end of your workout.

If you do at least 3 of these fat-burning circuits per week, combined with a healthy diet including a moderate calorie deficit, you should see results of 0.5kg-1kg of weight loss per week.
