On today’s episode of Live Lean TV, I’m sharing a simple workout tip on how to burn fat faster with workout finishers.
Here’s the deal.
You’re working out and eating pretty healthy, but you feel like you’re just not burning fat fast enough yet.
Nod your head right now if you feel what I’m saying.
If so, this is the video post for you.
I’m going to share a way I structure my workouts to burn fat faster, in just 4 minutes, using workout finishers.
First, it’s important to lift weights, and focus the majority of your workouts on resistance training.
I’ve done numerous video posts on why strength training is optimal for fat loss, however that’s not today’s workout tip.
Today’s tip is about what you do, for just 4 minutes, immediately after your 40-45 minutes of strength training.
Say hello to the workout finisher.
Workout finishers help burn a few more calories during the workout, and a whole lot more after you leave the gym.
This is due to the increased metabolic effect they have on your body for many hours following your workout.
In addition to this, the end of your workout it is a perfect time to burn stored fat for energy, since your stored glycogen energy levels are already low.
Here’s how to complete a workout finisher.
At the end of your regular resistance training workout, set your interval timer for 20 seconds of work and 10 seconds of rest, for 8 rounds.
This 4 minute combination of exercises are called workout finishers.
I prefer to use bodyweight exercises during the workout finisher, as the majority of the heavy compound exercises should be done in the beginning of the workout, to burn through stored glycogen.
The exercises during your 4 minute workout finisher need to be challenging.
When you finish the workout finisher, you should have absolutely nothing left in the tank, when you leave the gym floor.
To create a workout finisher, pick 1-8 fat blasting bodyweight exercises, then plug them into this 20 seconds on, 10 seconds off, workout finisher routine.
Repeat 8 times, for a total of 4 minutes.
You could also use any of my 4 minute tabata workout videos that I shot for my Live Lean TV YouTube channel as your workout finisher.
Here is my full 4 minute tabata workout playlist.
In my best selling 42 day Live Lean Afterburn 2.0 workout program, we’ve designed and provided numerous 4 minute workout finishers called the “4 Minute Afterburners”.
These 4 minute afterburner workout finishers are completed immediately after your 45 minute Afterburn strength training workout.
This means your stored body fat becomes the primary energy source to fuel the final 4 minute afterburner workout finisher.
Remember, when you leave the gym floor, I want you to feel like you’ve given it your all.
Trust me, these 4 minute afterburners are for real.
Every workout found in my best-selling Live Lean Afterburn 2.0 system finishes with a unique fat smashing 4 minute afterburner workout finisher.

So … I Felt like this is more of a marketing video rather than an
informative video .. :/
Great vid Brad. I love the empty the tank Idea. Pushing your body and mind
just a little bit more is a great idea.
Great helpful video!
I usually brisk walk for an hour after strenght workout, and every other
day I only do a 15min hiit training… Would you say that 4min tabata is
better than 1 hour brisk walk after strenght? I know you are a tabata guy,
but be honest here 🙂
Hey, Brad. First of all, I want to thank you for your videos and all your
work. I have been a big fan and have been following both of your channels
for about eight months now, and you have helped me find the motivation to
start working out again this year and to really commit to living lean.
I have a question, and I really need your advice on this. Weight training
is not going to be an option for me this summer, but I already have a
fairly athletic body and reasonable muscle mass. Is it possible to
incorporate the after-burn and/or Tabata workouts into an Insanity workout
schedule (which I know is hardly considered strength training)? I had an
ATFL injury over two months ago while doing power (knee-tuck) jumps due to
bad form at the end of a one-hour workout during my second month of
Insanity, and it’s been quite a while since I’ve fully recovered, and I was
wondering if somehow, gradually incorporating your high-intensity workouts
(which have become my favourite to do when I’m not following a program)
into an intense Insanity workout routine will help maximise my results? I
realise it’s practically the same (or is it?), but that is all I can do now
and going to the gym and using weights isn’t an option, and I really want
to make the most of what I can do now and hopefully maximise my fat loss. I
have incredibly stubborn fat in my thighs (21.6 in.) and my hips (34.8 and
29.5 at the hipbone) and waist (31.9) area. I’m 20, 5’6″, and 144 pounds,
and my body fat percentage 4 months ago was 15.57%. I would really
appreciate your advice on this, Brad. Thank you.
Can someone explain to me what is afterburn effect. I’m new to this kind of
things
Will I get the afterburn if I am 15
Okay so you strength train first then cardio?
Tabata is a good finisher….. That’s how you get those gains thanks Brad
I love the tabata’s at the end. I have incorporated them into all my other
workouts. They really do work. Afterburn 2.0 is an excellent program. I
use all kinds of workout programs and this one is one of the best. If you
haven’t tried it, do it,. You won’t be disappointed. Thanks for the vid.
Would cardio workouts on the stairs or jogging work too?
Wow I’ve been doing it all wrong all along ???
any tips on how to plan a week? for example, strength training, hiking and
cycling?
