Check out this half-hour fat blaster workout

Want to get an effective workout done and dusted? This one only takes 30 minutes, says Amanda Khouv.

We’re always on the lookout for workouts that are not only enjoyable and effective, but also time-efficient, because we know how busy you are.

Fitness coach Sasha Fardell’s Metablast class is all of the above.

“The high-intensity, full-body conditioning class is designed to get your heart rate up and get you sweating,” she says.

Metablast works you from head to toe using resistance and plyo (or jump training) moves that your body might hate you for at the time, but really pay off.

It’s quick — so there isn’t much rest involved but, for those looking for fat burn and endurance gains, that’s a plus.

HOW TO DO IT: Perform moves 1-3 for 30 seconds back-to-back without rest. Once one set is complete, rest for 30 seconds, then repeat for a total of 4 to 5 sets, depending on your level.

Once all sets are complete, rest for 1 to 2 minutes then do the same for moves 4-6.

Stop once you’ve worked out for 30 minutes.

1. JUMP SQUAT

Areas trained: GLUTES, QUADS

Technique

* Start with your feet slightly wider than hip-width apart, and begin to lower the body, sitting back on your heels as if you’re sitting back into a chair until your thighs come just below parallel to the floor.

* Drive back up pushing through your heels, jumping off the ground.

* Land softly and repeat.

SAFETY TIP: Keep your chest up and avoid letting your knees pass your toes

2. BURPEE

Areas trained: FULL BODY

Technique

* Squat down to place your hands flat on the floor slightly in front of you.

* Jump both feet back so that you are in a high-plank position with your shoulders directly over your hands and your body straight.

* Jump your feet back in and then jump up as high as you can.

* Land softly and repeat.

SAFETY TIP: Don’t let your lower back overarch in plank position

3. PRESS-UP

Areas trained: CHEST, TRICEPS, CORE

Technique

* Place your hands directly beneath your shoulders with your body straight in a high-plank position.

* Start slowly lowering your whole body down to the ground by bending your elbows, being careful not to drop your hips.

* Once your chest is a few inches from the ground, push yourself back up to the starting position and repeat.

HOT TIP: Beginners should start in a box position on their knees

4. JUMPING LUNGE

Areas trained: GLUTES, QUADS, CORE

Technique

* Keeping your body straight and chest up, start in the bottom of a lunge position with both knees at a 90-degree angle with your back knee hovering a few inches from the ground.

* From that position jump straight up and switch legs so that your other leg is now in front.

* Land softly and repeat, switching legs with each rep.

SAFETY TIP: Don’t let your front knee go past your toes

5. BICYCLE CRUNCH

Areas trained: STOMACH, SIDES

Technique

* Lay flat on the floor with your lower back pressed to the ground (pull your belly button towards your spine).

* Put your hands by your ears, then bring your knees in towards your chest and lift your shoulder blades off the ground.

* Straighten your right leg out to around a 45-degree angle to the ground while turning your upper body to the left, bringing your right elbow towards the left knee.

* Switch sides by straightening your left leg out, turning your upper body to the right and bringing your left elbow to your right knee.

* Switch sides with each rep.

6. MOUNTAIN CLIMBER

Areas trained: CORE, HIPS

Technique

* Start in a high-plank position with your weight distributed evenly through your hands and toes.

* Bend one leg by driving your knee towards your chin so the leg is bent with the top of your bent leg close to your body.

* Explosively switch legs so your opposite leg is now bent beneath your hips. Switch legs repeatedly.

SAFETY TIP: Keep your hips in line with the rest of your body throughout.
