Reveal Your Abs with the Belly Fat Inferno

Get rid of your stubborn spare tire by replacing one of your weekly workouts with this fat-loss routine from certified personal trainer Mark Fisher. 

Perform the following 9 exercises in order. Go from one exercise immediately to the next, only resting for 30 to 60 seconds after the third and sixth moves (the split jump and the kettlebell row). Once you’ve completed all 9 exercises, rest for 60 seconds and then begin the circuit again. Do 3 circuits total.

Reps: 20

Place two kettlebells on the floor in front of you. Stand with your feet slightly beyond shoulder width, push your hips back, and grab the kettlebells’ handles.

“Hike” the kettlebells between your legs, and then thrust your hips forward as you swing both up to chest level. Swing them back between your legs. That’s 1 rep. Continue without pausing. 

Reps: 12

Assume a pushup position with your feet together, arms straight, and hands slightly wider than your shoulders. Lower your body and then push up with enough force for your hands to leave the floor. Land and repeat. 

Reps: 12 per leg

Assume a staggered stance with your right foot forward. Lower your body into a lunge; then jump up, scissor-kicking your legs in the air. Land with your left foot forward and drop back into a lunge. That’s 1 rep. Alternate legs each rep. 

Rest for 30 to 60 seconds before starting exercise 4.

Reps: 10

Stand with your feet slightly beyond shoulder width and hold a kettlebell by the sides of its handle in front of your chest.

Push your hips back, bend your knees, and lower your body as far as you can; your elbows should brush the insides of your knees. Pause, and stand back up. 

Time: 30 seconds

Get down on all fours with your hips up and knees bent approximately 90 degrees. (Only your hands and toes should touch the floor.)

Crawl forward, moving your opposite hands and feet in unison (left hand and right foot, right hand and left foot). 

Reps: 12

Grab two kettlebells, push your hips back, bend your knees slightly, and lower your torso toward the floor. Let the weights hang at arm’s length. Row the weights to the sides of your torso. Pause, and lower them back to the starting position. 

Rest for 30 to 60 seconds before starting exercise 7. 

Distance: 20 steps (each way)

Hold a kettlebell in your right hand by your side like a suitcase, keeping your shoulders square and torso upright.

Maintain this posture as you walk forward for the prescribed distance. Switch hands, turn around, and walk back. 

Reps: 20

Place one kettlebell on the floor in front of you. Push your hips back and grab the handle in both hands.

“Hike” the weight between your legs; then thrust your hips forward and swing it up to chest level. Swing it back between your legs. That’s 1 rep; continue without pausing. 

Reps: 8

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart. Now squat and place your hands on the floor.

Instead of kicking your legs back (as you’d do in a conventional burpee), “walk” your hands forward until you’re in a pushup position. (Optional: Do a pushup.) Pause, and reverse the move to return to the starting position.
