Incinerate Body Fat With This Landmine Complex Workout

Deliver a knockout blow to your belly fat with this six-move barbell complex based around a move known as the landmine.

Angle a barbell into a suitable corner of your gym or a weight plate on the floor (most gyms now have specialist landmine attachments, which allow you to easily slide one end of the bar into).

Take a deep breath and execute all these moves back-to-back to build a lean physique in minutes.  

“Training with a complex allows you to use your whole body during a short and intense workout,” says Mishal Dasani of
Own Your Fitness.

“The result will be increased lactate output – the thing that makes your muscles burn – and your body being flooded with growth hormone.” 

This lethal combo is the perfect weapon for rapid fat loss and improved muscle growth.

  • Complete each exercise back-to-back.
  • Do 30-45 secs of work for each exercise.
  • Once one round is complete, rest 60 secs then go again.
