3 Moves to Rev Your Metabolism

Ignite Your Metabolism
Burn Fat All Day Long
This workout from Craig Ballantyne, C.S.C.S., M.Sc., the owner of turbulencetraining.com, works your entire body in only three exercises. Complete the sequence, rest one minute, and repeat as many times as you can in 15 minutes.
1. Dumbbell Split Squat
Holding a pair of dumbbells with your arms hanging at your sides, stand in a staggered stance, your right foot in front of your left. Keeping your torso upright, lower your body until your front thigh is parallel to the floor. Raise yourself back up into the staggered stance and complete a total of eight repetitions. Switch legs and repeat.
2. Cross-Body Mountain Climber
Assume a pushup position, your body forming a straight line from your head to your heels. Brace your abs—you'll hold them that way for the entire exercise. Now pull your left knee as close as you can to your right shoulder, without allowing your hips to sag. Return to the starting position and repeat, this time raising your right knee toward your left shoulder. That's one rep. Complete a total of 10.
3. Chinup with Kneeup
Grab a chinup bar with an underhand grip (palms facing your body). Do a pullup so your chest reaches the bar, while also raising your knees to your chest. Then slowly lower your body and return to the start. If you can't complete a chinup, simply raise your knees while hanging from the bar. Complete 10 reps, or as many as you can.
