The excess fat on your body is a lot like a nut attached to a rusted-out bolt. You want to twist it off. You need to twist it off. Chances are, you’ve tried everything you can think of to unscrew it, but nothing ever seems to work. It’s stuck—and so are you.

When this happens, any machine or auto repair shop worth its salt has just the last-resort solution on hand to get things moving: a blowtorch. When you blowtorch a rusted nut-and-bolt arrangement, the intense heat breaks the bond created by the rust, and it melts things down to a point where the nut can easily be removed.

That’s how it works with fat loss, too. When all else fails—when your diet and cardio “solutions” aren’t solving a blessed thing—it’s time to break out your own blowtorch and get the lard off once and for all. Summer is coming, which means it’s time, yet again, to either show off the work you’ve been doing all winter or hide the fact that you’ve been slacking. We’re about to show you how to round into the homestretch with a healthy dose of intensity by adding metabolic circuit training to your regimen.
