When it comes to getting rid of bloating and water retention, your workouts can be a powerful weapon. Resist the urge to perform “punishment exercise” that drags on for hours just because you overindulged. Not only is this exercise punishment unnecessary, it can actually cause you to overeat later on. Instead, use the following workout tricks to get rid of bloating fast without spending hours in the gym.

Trick #1: Use your full body in resistance workouts.
When you are trying to get rid of water retention and reduce bloating, you have two goals. First, you want to create a metabolic disturbance so that you are burning more calories at rest. That is always a top priority when it comes to exercise for weight loss because it helps you get better results with less effort. Secondly you want to SWEAT.
Although your tight rings and jeans that won’t button would suggest that you have gained weight, you simply need to sweat out that excess water. Frankly doing body parts split workouts (with the exception of leg day) is not going to create a metabolic disturbance or create the type of body heat and sweat that you need. So use your entire body when you do a resistance workout. The more muscle you use, the better.
Trick #2: Use combination moves.
While doing full body workouts ensure you use more muscle, merging those moves together into combination moves takes your results (metabolic disturbance and sweat) to an entirely different level. You are increasing the amount of muscle you are using with each exercise without adding any time to your workout. For example let’s say you are used to doing arm curls in your workout but you need to amp that up to create metabolic disturbance and sweat. You can combine those bicep curls with a squat to form a squat and curl. By creating that combination move, you’re using more muscle, creating more metabolic disturbance, and increasing your body heat and sweat.
Trick #3: Use strategic stacking.
The last thing you want to do when you work out is save energy. Strategic stacking is intentionally ordering your exercises in a way that maximizes your effort. To create more metabolic disturbance and sweat, you would order your exercises to alternate between sitting, standing, and lying down so that you have to work between each exercise to get into a new body position. My clients often joke that the get down and get up factor is one of the hardest parts of the workout.
