Live Lean Nation, on today’s episode of Live Lean TV I’m sharing a simple workout tip on how to smash fat faster.
So you’re working out, you’re eating pretty healthy, but you feel like you’re just not burning fat fast enough.
Nod your head right now if you feel what I’m saying!
If so, this is the video for you.
I’m going to share a way I structure my workouts to smash fat faster.
First, it’s important to focus the majority of your workouts on resistance training.
I’ve done numerous videos on why resistance training is optimal for fat loss.
But that’s not today’s tip.
Today’s tip on how to smash fat faster is about what you do for just 4 minutes immediately after your 40-45 mins of strength training.
In my best selling 42 day LiveLeanAfterburn.com workout program, I call this combination of exercises, the 4 min Afterburners.
Immediately after your 45 minute strength training workout is a perfect time to smash fat faster with my 4 min Afterburners.
Why?
Because your energy stores (aka your glycogen levels) are already low.
In most cases, this means your stored body fat becomes the primary energy source to fuel the final 4 minute afterburner (aka the workout finisher).
The exercises to add to your 4 minute afterburner need to be challenging so when it’s done, you leave the gym floor with nothing left in the tank.
I prefer bodyweight exercises as the majority of the heavy compound exercises should be done in the beginning of the workout to burn through that stored glycogen.
In my LiveLeanAfterburn.com program we’ve designed and provided numerous 4 minute afterburner options.
However, you could also use any of my 4 minute tabata workout videos that I shot for Live Lean TV as your afterburner workout. Click here for my full playlist.
Trust me, these 4 min afterburners are for real.
They help burn a few more calories during the workout, and a whole lot more after you leave the gym.
This is due to the increased metabolic effect they have on your body for many hours following your workout.
Our Live Lean Afterburn users have been loving the results from using them. So if you haven’t picked up your copy of LiveLeanAfterburn.com yet, check out all the success stories and transformations from people just like you who have used the foundation program as well as the graduate program at LiveLeanAfterburn.com.
It’s a tough workout, but it gets results. I hope to see you take the challenge.
Every workout found in my best-selling Live Lean Afterburn system finishes with a unique fat smashing 4 min afterburner.

So … I Felt like this is more of a marketing video rather than an
informative video .. :/
Great vid Brad. I love the empty the tank Idea. Pushing your body and mind
just a little bit more is a great idea.
Great helpful video!
I usually brisk walk for an hour after strenght workout, and every other
day I only do a 15min hiit training… Would you say that 4min tabata is
better than 1 hour brisk walk after strenght? I know you are a tabata guy,
but be honest here 🙂
Hey, Brad. First of all, I want to thank you for your videos and all your
work. I have been a big fan and have been following both of your channels
for about eight months now, and you have helped me find the motivation to
start working out again this year and to really commit to living lean.
I have a question, and I really need your advice on this. Weight training
is not going to be an option for me this summer, but I already have a
fairly athletic body and reasonable muscle mass. Is it possible to
incorporate the after-burn and/or Tabata workouts into an Insanity workout
schedule (which I know is hardly considered strength training)? I had an
ATFL injury over two months ago while doing power (knee-tuck) jumps due to
bad form at the end of a one-hour workout during my second month of
Insanity, and it’s been quite a while since I’ve fully recovered, and I was
wondering if somehow, gradually incorporating your high-intensity workouts
(which have become my favourite to do when I’m not following a program)
into an intense Insanity workout routine will help maximise my results? I
realise it’s practically the same (or is it?), but that is all I can do now
and going to the gym and using weights isn’t an option, and I really want
to make the most of what I can do now and hopefully maximise my fat loss. I
have incredibly stubborn fat in my thighs (21.6 in.) and my hips (34.8 and
29.5 at the hipbone) and waist (31.9) area. I’m 20, 5’6″, and 144 pounds,
and my body fat percentage 4 months ago was 15.57%. I would really
appreciate your advice on this, Brad. Thank you.
Can someone explain to me what is afterburn effect. I’m new to this kind of
things
Will I get the afterburn if I am 15
Okay so you strength train first then cardio?
Tabata is a good finisher….. That’s how you get those gains thanks Brad
I love the tabata’s at the end. I have incorporated them into all my other
workouts. They really do work. Afterburn 2.0 is an excellent program. I
use all kinds of workout programs and this one is one of the best. If you
haven’t tried it, do it,. You won’t be disappointed. Thanks for the vid.
Would cardio workouts on the stairs or jogging work too?
Wow I’ve been doing it all wrong all along ???
any tips on how to plan a week? for example, strength training, hiking and
cycling?
