Consistent exercise is the key to successful weight loss, but not all exercises will give you instant results.
Aerobic exercise is effective when combined with strength training because it can address a variety of body problems.
Phil Carpenter, a personal trainer at PureGym, claims that kettlebell swings burn the most calories in the shortest amount of time.
A fitness enthusiast has shared five “fat-burning” exercises that will give you quick results.
Dumbbell Squat Press (10-12 repetitions): These compound movements help work large fat-burning muscle groups like your quads, shoulders, and glutes.

This exercise is a full-body workout and is performed with dumbbells held at each shoulder and feet shoulder-width apart.
Squat down as low as you’re comfortable, and once you’ve reached the lowest position possible, raise the dumbbells directly above your head and press up.
Climbers (10-12 repetitions): Work your whole body and burn calories at the same time.
Start in a bent-over position, using your hands and toes to support your weight and keeping your shoulders, hips, and ankles in line.
From here, keep your core tight and alternate between bringing your knees up to your chest, maintaining a fast tempo from start to finish.
Burpees (10-12 repetitions): This intense exercise engages many muscle groups and is extremely effective at burning calories.
Burpees can also speed up your metabolism throughout the day, so you can keep burning calories even after you’ve stopped exercising.
From a standing position, squat down without placing your hands on the floor directly in front of your feet.
Kick your feet back into a plank position, then bring your feet back towards your chest and finish by jumping upwards as hard as you can.
Kettlebell Swing (10-12 laps): Burn more calories in less time than most other cardio exercises and build muscle at the same time.
“Stand with your feet slightly wider than shoulder width apart and hold a kettlebell in each hand,” Phil said.
Bend at the waist, lift your head and stick your chest out, pulling the kettle bag up between your legs.

Keeping your knees soft and your arms straight, engage your lower back and squeeze your glutes as you raise the kettlebell to shoulder height.
Walk Out Push Ups (10-12 repetitions): This effective bodyweight exercise targets your chest, core, shoulders and triceps.
Build strength and tone your upper body while burning calories. Bend at the waist, stand shoulder-width apart and place your hands on the floor in front of your feet.
“Walk your hands forward on the floor until you’re in a push-up position, then do a push-up. Bring your hands back to your feet and repeat,” Phil explained.
