We want the workout that burns the most calories in the shortest amount of time, when it comes to exercise. Watch pounds fly off after you incorporate these types of workouts into your routine.
Plyometrics
Jump for it and go ahead. Explosive movements like jumping jacks and box jumps burn 10 calories a minute and help build strong muscles. For engaging legs and core muscles as you hit the ground, the key is to keep your moves quick and land softly.

Short Workouts
To fit a solid workout, you just have to increase your intensity and you can see the results even if you have just minutes to sweat. A recent study found that your muscle’s DNA can be changed by just 20 minutes of exercise, including afterburner effects and metabolism. Other studies have shown improvements in as little as seven, in multiple markers of health. To exercise at your max potential in 30 seconds bursts followed by a recovery period is the trick.

Supersets
Supersets are a form of high-intensity interval training (HITT). These are circuit workouts that pair two different sets of exercises with no resting in between, one right after the other. Of any strength-training routine, this ups and cardio element helps you shed fat in less time and build muscle.
Choose two types of moves to pair these supersets, either working opposing or the same muscle groups. Rest for a minute only once you’ve completed each superset (pair of moves), and perform each set for your normal amount of reps.

Tabata
Tabata burns 13.5 calories per minute on average and is just a specific form of HIIT. This is the work of Tabata: Alternating between 20 seconds of max training followed by a 10-second rest, it is four-minute of high-intensity training.

Kettlebells
It’s hard to go wrong with a kettlebell workout, if you want to burn calories fast. You can burn a whopping 400 calories in 20 minutes, the American Council on Exercise found. Multiplanar movement is the reason for that fast burnout. Laura Wilson, programming director for KettleWorX, says that instead of just going up and down, you’re moving in different planes of movement. It’s much more functional as you’re moving in and out and side to side. It’s similar to move in real life. Unlike a dumbbell, kettlebell simulate the movement.
