If you want to build muscle and burn fat at the same time, you have to perform
circuit training, three days per week. How can you achieve this? Indulge in full
body exercises like lunges, push-ups, and pull-ups, for one set of 15
repetitions. Don’t forget to follow every exercise with one minute of jumping
rope. You should be able to burn around 500 to 600 calories per workout.

repetitions should be done. Also, do planks by holding your body in a push-up
position on your elbows for 30 to 60 seconds for four sets.

dairy should replace processed foods full of sugar.

Stressing and anxiety can cause the
over-production of a certain hormone called cortisol, which encourages weight
gain about the belly area. So try to keep your cool!
