Blast More Fat with Exercise Machines

Exercise machines weren't created to punish guys who eat too much. That's what diets are for. But men spend hours, day after day, churning their arms and legs and waiting for the StairMaster or treadmill to make their bellies vanish. The result: They make it about as far as the average rat on a wheel. But your machine workout doesn't have to be a road—or row—to nowhere. "By decreasing the duration and varying the intensity of your exercise sessions, you'll get better results in less time," says Chris Carmichael, founder of Carmichael Training Systems and former coach to Lance Armstrong. 

Check out our insider's guide to the 5 most popular exercise machines, and follow the 20-minute, fat-blasting workout designed for each. Your goals: Bust your exercise rut, and your gut, in record time.

Two Workouts in One

You know the routine: Do a set, rest, repeat. You've been doing it for years, and, not surprisingly, your fitness gains have started to slow. It's time to kick things up a notch. "By filling your rest periods with exercises, you can improve conditioning and fire up your metabolism," says Jim Smith, C.S.C.S., co-owner of Diesel Crew. 

Sound a little intense? Good. But the trick is to replace your rest periods with fillers that work different muscle groups than your primary exercise—jump squats between sets of dumbbell chest presses, for example, or mountain climbers between sets of chinups. In so doing, you'll allow one muscle group to recover while you kick another into gear. The result: More muscle and less fat in half the time.

10 Overrated Muscle-Building Strategies

Notre Dame football, "The Situation", and crunches. What do all three have in common? Besides making your stomach hurt, they're all overrated. Granted, the first is personal opinion, but the others? Not so much. 

Let's start with crunches. You see, abs are all about body fat. So once you get your percentage into single digits, try doing planks (work up to holding the position for 2 to 3 minutes) and Swiss-ball crunches (start with 10 reps and work up to 30 to 40). "Both are better than the standard crunch for bringing out your abs," says Tom Seabourne, Ph.D., C.S.C.S., an exercise physiologist and sports psychologist at Northeast Texas Community College in Mount Pleasant. For all the other strength-boosting tactics we tend to overuse, check out 10 overrated muscle-building strategies.

BUILD MAJOR LEAGUE MUSCLE

Four years ago, Tim Collins was a 131-pound high school senior who stood 5'5" and threw an 82-miles per hour fastball. Now, he's made it to the major leagues, and currently pitches for the Kansas City Royals. But how he got there is one of the greatest triumphs in the history of modern strength and conditioning. 

It all started in October of 2007, when Collins started working with strength coach Eric Cressey and his business partner, Tony Gentilcore. Together, the three of them went up to a track to see what Collins could do. (Cressey and Gentilcore, it should be noted, are not runners. Cressey is a competitive powerlifter. Gentilcore is a big, strong dude.) Still, they had no trouble at all running Collins into the ground, finishing 8 to 10 yards ahead of him on every sprint. They tested Collins' vertical jump at a mere 25 inches. 

So they got to work, using the basic strength exercises: deadlifts, lunges, pullups, chinups, rows, and pushups. And it worked: In 2008, Collins' fastball powered up to the 87 to 89 mph range. He faced 265 batters and struck out 97 of them. And he was just getting started.
