5 HIIT Workouts With Weights To Burn Fat

#5 Barbell Squat

Quite a few studies have shown that squats burn calories to a greater extent, and with the barbell squat, the intensity of the regular squat is compounded due to the introduction of added resistance.

Instructions:

Step 1: Stand straight with your feet positioned slightly wider than the distance between the shoulders. Hold the barbell on the back of the back of the shoulders. Ensure that the palms are facing outwards and the distance between the hands is marginally greater than shoulder-width.

Step 2: Bend your knees and lower your hips towards the ground until the thighs are parallel to the floor.

Step 3: Hold for a moment and return to the starting position.

Repeat the exercise for the recommended number of times.

Important tips: People with a history of back problems must exercise caution while performing this exercise. Beginners are advised to perform the barbell squat under expert supervision.
