Forget that it’s almost August—there’s still plenty of time to get ripped in time to enjoy the beach weather. If you’ve been working hard in the gym all year and are still not seeing the definition you want for the summer, it’s time to transform your routine into something that’s specifically designed to amp your metabolism and speed up your fat loss.

Here are five workouts built to get you lean quickly. Unlike typical strength or bodybuilding programs, these workouts combine intensity, volume, and cardio to burn more calories, explode your metabolism, and preserve your muscle. Each workout also focuses on a different element of fitness while still staying maximized for fat loss.

To drop the excess fat that’s covering your muscles, add one of these workouts to your routine so that you get an additional workout per week and substitute one or two of your current daily routines with ours. That will create the stimulus you need to ramp up your leaning phase. 

Notes:

For workout 2, perform the circuit 5 times, resting 90 seconds at the end of each circuit. Each exercise should be performed 30 seconds on, 30 seconds off.
