<\/em>With the temperature rising and beach season in full swing, we bet you’re wondering if there are any secrets out there to blast fat<\/a><\/strong> effectively to reveal a\u00a0toned beach body<\/a><\/strong>. Well you’re in luck because today we’re uncovering four simple secrets to burning fat without much effort. Whether you’re at home, at the gym or sitting in your desk chair at work, here are some of our favorite ‘Quick Fast Blasting Tips’ to banish fat the smart way.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Change up your cardio<\/strong>
\nLook at your cardio workout in intervals: sprint as fast as you can for a minute, then\u00a0back off but increase your incline. If you’re on the elliptical,\u00a0increase resistance, then pick up the pace for a few minutes.\u00a0If you are in love with the treadmill, instead of walking for a few minutes to warm up,\u00a0try out the bike or another cardio machine for your warm up and to move your muscles\u00a0differently. Muscles have memory and can quickly become conditioned to your favorite\u00a0form of cardio. Avoid this by making your muscles guess what’s coming next!<\/p>\n

Change up your full body workout
\n<\/strong>Accustomed to doing cardio then weights, or vice versa? If you implement intervals\u00a0into your cardio (see above), you can do one interval, lift some arm weights or do leg\u00a0exercises, then jump back into cardio.\u00a0Moving from one exercise to another not only keeps your body guessing, but it also\u00a0ensures that you’re burning more calories by moving continuously, rather than busting\u00a0it on cardio and taking your time doing weights.<\/p>\n

Pull your abs in 24\/7
\n<\/strong>You can literally workout ANYWHERE, ANYTIME with this fat blasting tip!\u00a0Pull your belly button in towards your spine, act like you are squeezing into a tight pair\u00a0of pants, and try to flatten your belly right below your belly button.\u00a0Engage your core to gain stability, to feel tighter, and to look smaller along your\u00a0waistline.<\/p>\n

Cut back on dairy and gluten foods<\/strong>
\nA lot of people are lactose intolerant and don’t even know it. After eating dairy\u00a0products, a lot of us feel bloated and even lethargic. Similarly, a lot of wheat products\u00a0leave us feeling like our stomach is a balloon that uncontrollably expands!\u00a0Try reducing or eliminating your dairy and gluten intake. Many carbs now say “gluten\u00a0free<\/a><\/strong>” if they’re without gluten, as well as dairy products if they’re dairy-free.\u00a0If you eat ice cream, there’s ice cream made with coconut milk. If you love milk,\u00a0try rice or soy milk. If you crave cheese, try eating a protein and vegetable snack. Imagining how you feel after eating cheese may be enough to talk yourself out of\u00a0wanting it!<\/p>\n

Try these four simple fat-blasting tips to tone up and maybe even lose some weight this summer. Or if all of them aren’t feasible, just pick one or two – some effort is always better than none!<\/p>\n
