Workout that Burns the Most Calories

Instead of wasting your valuable time driving to the gym or waiting for your favorite machine to free up, try these at-home bodyweight exercises instead. These 3 are the best bodyweight exercises for burning calories, strengthening multiple muscle groups at once and getting in a great total-body workout! All of these exercises (and more!) can be found in the Runtastic Results app – start your 12-week training plan today!
1. Flat-out Burpees
Get ready for your heart rate to elevate! We love burpees because they are a great metaphor for life – when you fall down to the ground, you get right back up!

2. Jump Squats
Jumping exercises, also known as plyometrics, are great for fat burning and really activate your core. Not only are you working your big leg muscles, (quadriceps, hamstrings and glutes) but you’re also working your inner and outer thighs (adductors and abductors), calves and challenge your stabilization as well. If you’re not ready for jump squats yet, regular squats are great, too!

3. Skier Abs
This exercise is a variation of the plank (which we love!). You’re targeting your ab muscles from all angles with this move! Plus, you have to stabilize your upper body and use your legs to jump from side to side.

And finally, here’s how you can combine these 3 exercises for a total-body, fat-blasting interval workout in only 15 minutes:

Do each exercise at a 40/20 interval (40 seconds workout/ 20 seconds rest)
Rest for 60 seconds at the end of the third exercise interval
Repeat 4 rounds
Happy sweating!

Tips for Cyclists to Get Proper Nutrition Without Overeating

As with any sport, to be the best possible, a cyclist has to know the best foods to eat. It may seem like an obvious fact, but the food a cyclist eats should go down easy and stay down. Variety and moderation are two words to remember when racing or touring. Moderation means there are no good foods or bad foods, but rather healthy foods and not-so-healthy foods. Variety is important because nutrients are distributed in many foods. No one super-food contains everything you need. A cyclist will burn more calories than a sedentary person, but that doesn't mean the cyclist has a license to eat anything they want. The correct eating plan will give you energy for an entire race or tour. A diet of low fat and high carbohydrates will provide the needed energy. While a high carb diet is normally taboo for a normal dieter, they are not evil as many are taught to believe. Carbohydrates are actually the body's preferred source of energy. Good sources of carbohydrates are fruits, vegeta...

BMX Skills

With dust forming at the heels of participants surrounded by flashes of red, blue, and metal, BMX riding is a form of cycling that involves twists, turns, and smart maneuvering. A different kind of bike is used to perform the tricks and moves associated with the sport, such as 20-inch wheels. BMX stands for Bicycle Moto-cross (X) and utilizes tracks fashioned from earth and dirt. While some enjoy the aspect of performing BMX tricks, others simply favor the racing aspect of the sport. During the late 1960s, BMX riding found a home within California, where the teenage population emulated motocross icons with their bikes. It is believed that the actual sport of BMX was the brainchild of Scot Breithaupt, who actively participated from 1970 to 1977. It is also believed that a motorcycle racing film called On Any Sunday, captured the public's imagination. Soon after, the middle of the decade saw a skyrocketed interest of the sport. Before long, BMX catapulted into the mainstream, as ...
