A solid workout regimen has a variety of moves to focus on different parts of your body—from building muscle to shredding calories. To sprinkle in fat-burning exercises to your next fitness session, we tapped Shannon Nadj, founder of Hot Pilates in Los Angeles, to share what she does to burn fat. “Strength-focused workouts are a great way to sculpt and burn fat. This series incorporates weights in movement patterns that help elongate the muscle. Throughout each move, concentrate on form, precision, and initiating from your core. In order to sculpt, rather than bulk, use lighter weights between three and eight pounds.”
