Men should begin with a squat movement that allows them to do a lot of mechanical work which plays a major role in burning of fat or calories. A kettlebell swing can be one of the most ideal workouts for fat burning as it involves only that movement of pushing your hips back, bending your knees, and dropping your body. In this workout, men have to move their entire body.

The next of the workouts involves using any type of push-up or dumbbell press. One can use bench press or standing shoulder press as well. In this case also, men have to use a huge amount of muscle that that leads to burning of a lot of calories. The third of the workouts that comes next is any type of pulling exercise. This workout could be in the form of rowing or pull-ups, dumbbell rows, or seated rows. In fact, anything in a pulling motion goes to work a lot of musculature so a lot of your upper back, some of your arms, your lats, or a little bit of your lower back if you keep that - that holds yourself in that fixed upright posture.

This pulling exercise is a highly effective fat burning, muscle-building movement or workout. By the time you complete these three types of workouts one after the other, you would cover almost 80-90% of your path to success. So if you do not have much time at your disposal, you could stick to only these first three workouts. But if you want to proceed till the last, you must need the last two types of workouts to complete your mission.

The nest item constitutes single leg exercises, which could be a dumbbell lunge or split squat or a reverse lunge or a single leg squat. In other words, anything that works one leg at a time. As men are required to use the lower part of their body, it's a lot of musculature. As one may find it difficult in gripping after the previous stage, it is wise to use a bodyweight only single-leg exercise, like the 1- leg squat or 1-leg lying hip extension.

The last of the five workouts could be anything - a mountain climber or a stability ball rollout. Or you can use the old infomercial gadget - the Ab Wheel as that works great. Men can also use cable chops and cable crunches if they can use cables in a gym. It is to be noted that these are not just basic crunches, but involve your arms, legs, and torso. So a total-body ab exercise is needed to finish off the five-phase workout. These constitute a total body workout, which is extremely helpful in muscle building and fat burning in men.
