Here’s how to do it:

  • Sit down on a bench or chair, and rest your palms down on the edge of the seat.
  • Walk your legs outward till your arms are fully extended and buttocks are parallel to the floor.
  • As low as you can dip while bending your elbows, push yourself back up to your starting position.
  • Perform 15 reps of four sets.

2) Concentration Curl

You must be seated to do this biceps workout, as opposed to other fat burning exercises that call for standing or moving around.

Here’s how to do it:

  • With your legs apart, take a seat on the bench.
  • Use your left hand to grab weight. Your left thigh or knee should be where you rest your elbow.
  • As you raise your hand up to your shoulder, curl the weight upward. When making this motion, keep the rest of your arm still.
  • Reverse the weight gradually, but don't place it back on the ground; instead, do it ten more times.
  • Change places, and perform this exercise with the opposite arm.
  • Perform three to five sets with each arm.

3) Triangle Push-up

Triangle push-ups are one of the best fat burning exercises and a variation of conventional push-ups. To do this exercise, all that needs to be altered is how your hands are held.

Here’s how to do it:

  • Descend to the ground as if you were going to perform a conventional push-up, and keep your feet together.
  • Put your hands together such that your thumbs and index fingers create a triangle by placing them beneath your shoulders.
  • Put your weight on your hands and feet by raising yourself up.
  • Slowly lower yourself while maintaining a tight torso and a straight body. Your chest and chin should be parallel to the ground.
  • Make sure to keep the same form when you stand back up. Avoid letting your hips lift or your lower back drop.
  • Perform three 15-rep sets.
