New Exercise Plan!

amandawhatup62

I’m searching for a new exercise plan! Do you all have any suggestions on workouts that I can do that last between 30 to 35 minutes that burn a lot of calories??

If burning calories is your only stipulation, then you are looking for some form of cardio plan. My exercise plan would also include strength training to help keep muscle loss at a minimum, but that's not a big calorie burner.

Look at Fitness Blender.com for ideas. It's hard to be very specific without much information to go on.

I like Jessica Smith.TV videos (free). Not necessarily the highest calorie burns, but she makes exercise enjoyable to me. https://www.youtube.com/user/jessicasmithtv

I like TurboFire, insanity, T25, or 30 day shred/ripped in 30

If burning calories is your only goal (that's quite sad IMHO and unlikely to be sustainable...) then do whatever cardio you enjoy, or can tolerate, at the highest steady intensity you can maintain for the whole duration of your workout.
It won't be "a lot of calories" for such a short duration and it's likely going to be desperately dull.

Alternatively have a serious think about your goals. Maybe include body composition, health, fitness, performance and enjoyment as goals?

Right now, I switch between cardio and strength training every day. I guess my question should have been something along the lines of different moves I can do for strength training and what other options are there for cardio. I’ve been running, I do the elliptical, the arc machine, the bike, and the stair master, but I’m wanting to switch that up.

A lot of different strength programs to choose from here: https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10332083/which-lifting-program-is-the-best-for-you/p1

As far as cardio, anything that elevates your heart rate (and oxygen consumption) for a period of time can be a useful modality. Find something you enjoy and will consistently do. In addition to the things you've already mentioned, that could be stand-up paddleboarding, rowing, kayaking, skating (roller or ice), swimming, playing basketball, metabolic conditioning workouts, exercise videos (as mentioned above) - a million different possibilities, limited only by your interest and what you have available to you.

I went through Insanity (highly modified). It was good.

You don't want a random collection of "moves" - you want a balanced program that suits your goals and lifting experience. You will progress far faster.

The biggest option for cardio is indoors or outdoors. Indoors for me limits the duration and enjoyment, outdoors the world is yours to explore and enjoy. I do cardio training indoors when I have to but only to support/improve my outdoor cycling. But really think of what you enjoy whether that's solo exercise, classes or sports.

Yes you should "switch up" your cardio if you want your fitness to improve - speed/intensity/duration....
Indoors I find interval work less dull than steady state but both have their place in a training plan.
