One effective fat burning exercise that will also get your abs screaming, is called “Mountain Climbers”. Mountain Climbers are a full body work-out that really gets your heartrate going. All you have to do is get in to a push-up position, bring your knee up to your chest and alternate legs rapidly for about one minute and you will really feel the burn.
