Exercises to Lose Weight Cardio Training – Cardiovascular exercises are an excellent way to lose weight. These are exercises which boost heart rate when performed. But how does this help weight loss? To lose weight you need to burn more calories than you consume. Cardio helps you do just that. As you begin your routine, your heart rate increases. The effort involved to keep the heart rate up burns a fair share of excess calories. However for a degree of success, you need to be consistent with your workout. The ideal scenario is 30 minutes of cardio at least thrice a week. Strength Training – Strength or weight training is an effective weight loss measure. While traditionally preferred by men who want to bulk up, when done in moderation, it makes for the perfect weight loss routine for both men and women. Weight training helps burn calories and the muscles get worked and strengthen. Try to incorporate at least 2 sessions of strength training into your exercise schedule. It is most effective when combined with less severe routine (like cardio or yoga). Home Exercises to Lose Weight – You don’t need access to a gym to stay fit. Many cardiovascular workouts work best outside a gym and as long as you are careful and you’re your own limitations in mind weight training can be managed at a home too. Other than that, there are a number of exercises to lose weight that can be done in the comfort of your home:
Lunges – Lunges are the secret to great looking legs. There are a number of variations to lunges. You can mix and match the various options for a fun workout routine. Lunges help work all your core muscles (thighs, hips, butt, abdomen, back) at once. As a result they help target all the most difficult regions in terms of weight loss in one shot. Like squats begin will small rounds before increasing the intensity. Skipping – Exercising at home doesn’t get easier than a skip rope. This is a fantastic cardio workout. Use the skip rope daily. The idea is to increase heart rate and maintain it at that level through the exercise. So cycles of 10-20 won’t cut it. Begin with a cycle of 100. Once you are comfortable increase the speed and then the counts. This is an excellent and simple way to lose weight. |
