5 Best Weight Loss Exercises

Exercise is the key to shedding those surplus pounds, one of the most important things you can do when starting a weight loss routine is to develop a good weight loss exercise program, here is some weight loss advice and five weight loss exercises that will help burn that fat.
1. Swimming.
Swimming is a fantastic exercise to start with. While swimming many parts of your body get a work out. Your arms, legs, shoulders, stomach muscles are used to move your body through the water. This is very good for people who are very overweight, because pressure is taken off the joints.
2. Cycling.
We all have a bike don’t we? Get that bike out of your garage and use it! Cycling is a great cardio weight loss exercise. Your heart rate will increase considerably which will in turn help to burn those calories. Cycling will also increase your fitness. Go cycling with your family or a friend, weight loss can be enjoyable.
3. Running.
This would be the best weight loss and exercise program to do. Running really burns fat and many people run, not just to lose weight but also for enjoyment. Running can be hard at first, especially when your fitness is low. As you continue your running program you will soon discover your fitness increasing at your weight dropping.
4. Walking.
If running is not for you there is walking. All aerobic weight loss exercises are good for you and will help you get fitter and burn fat. You can go for long walks or shorter power walks, shake up what you do to keep your interest.
5. Weight Training
That’s right I think that weight training is the best way to lose weight. Let me go through it in more detail.
What is weight training
Weight training is using weights to increase muscle mass. These weights can either be weights in a gym, sand bags at home if you don’t have enough time to go to the gym or you can even use your own body weight to build up your body mass.
How does it help lose weight
Weight training not only builds up muscles but it also goes on to burn a lot of calories as you workout. It is also known that by having muscle you also lose weight faster (plus it looks pretty nice).
Cardio workout VS Weight training workout
This is a pretty tricky one to pick but I would still go for weight training. Yes cardio does burn more calories than weight training the problem is when you stop cardio your calorie burner goes down. This is the exact opposite in weight training. Weight training may not burn as many calories during the workout however, when you finish weight training your body starts to repair the muscle fibres you damaged while working out and this needs energy which comes from calorie, therefore I think that if you are looking to burn calories fast and quick go for cardio, but if you are looking to burn them over a period of time and build muscle mass as well go for weight training. You can even mix them up if you really want to.
Drink lots of water
Whilst working out an important factor you don’t want to forget is drinking water as it keeps you hydrated. Water has more uses than that though, it also helps you lose weight (didn’t know that did you?). Water increases the efficiency of the kidney which aids the liver with metabolic reactions (metabolism). By fuelling the kidney you make it easier for the liver to covert stored fat into energy. Don’t just drink water while you exercise. Drink it 8 times a day and keep your metabolism high (it also defines your muscles tone). Read more

Weight Exercises For the Skinny Guy
Weight Exercise
Are you confused about what weight exercises you should be doing for maximum muscle growth to go from skinny to muscle? Do you wonder if what you are doing is the best set of exercises or maybe you are just wasting your time?
If so then it is great you are looking for answers because the requirements for skinny guys to increase their muscles is a lot more demanding and quite different from other body types who can have a much less strict regime and still pack on the pounds.
Most skinny guys do not know exactly what they should be doing because they have heard so many different theories and several have failed. This leads to questions about what types of exercises, equipment, supplements and workouts that they should try. While watching those body builders strut around the gym, you have to realize that building that kind of muscle easily is something that they inherited. You cannot do the same things and look the same as a skinny hard gainer. You have to change it up; your body is geared differently than theirs.
There are tons of theories floating in the gym; some propose muscle isolation where you only work a set of muscles per day. Others claim that if you work your muscles until they absolutely give out that you will build bigger muscles. However these along with many others are flawed, you might see a few results, but the truth is that these theories do not work and will not give you the buff body you want.
Here’s how it works; when you lift weights it stresses your muscles, which creates tiny little tears in the muscles themselves. These little tears are caused by the actually pushing of the muscle itself through the heavy weights. Now the body begins working toward healing these tears, but what happens is that nutrients and rest are necessary for the body to do so. These tears turn into scar tissue which actually creates a bigger as well as stronger muscle. It sounds easy, just lift heavy, cause the tears, heal up and get bigger! This is true, however your muscles can only withstand so much, you have to remember, no matter how bad you desire that muscle bound body, you must allow your body to heal and take a break in between. Continuing to push the body, without rest will cause the muscles not to heal and actually will set you back.
Here is a list of exercises for each major muscle group you need to be working on that has been proven to accelerate muscle mass growth in the skinny guy!
Chest
Flat DB Chest Press
Close Grip Chin Ups
Shoulders
Seated DB Shoulder Press
Standing Military Press
Biceps
Standing Barbell Curls
Incline Bicep Curls
Squats – This is one of the best exercises you can do period and exercises more than just the quads.
Deadlifts – Another of the ‘must do’ exercises as it does way more than just the hips, make sure you include these often.
Lower Back
Good Morning – This exercise is where you place a barbell on your shoulders and bend forward with knees slightly bent while keeping your back straight and looking ahead.
Calves
Standing Calve Raises
Weighted Ball Sit-ups
Weighted Cable Crunches
Here Are The Specifics About Your Workouts
This new information may seem a little odd right now, but with some specific tips and information it will start making sense quickly. It will also help you build muscle all over with relative ease!
- No isolation exercises, instead work on multiple muscle groups. Focus on exercises that give an overall workout, not just arms, legs or another muscle group. Use time wisely and instead of working one muscle like a bicep curl, work on something that works your bicep, back and chest! Free weights are generally the best option for this type of workout; however some of the machines with cables provide a good muscle growth workout without restricting you. An overall workout will also provide a positive for muscle growth and be in sync with your natural range of motion.
- Do NOT set yourself up to fail, this happens when you hit the gym and over exhaust yourself. Your muscles hurt and you may feel like you have really done some good, but the truth is that you have not gained any extra muscle. The goal is not to be sore and exhausted it is to build muscles!
- Lift heavy, but less often, hitting the gym twice a day is not the way to build muscles. Delivering an efficient workout will spark muscle growth, take this example: if you are lifting a weight numerous times, you are seeing what your endurance is, not building muscles. Instead you should lift to your ability, without going to the point of not being able to do no more. You want to push yourself, but not over exhaust. Ex: if you lift with 10 reps and feel that the 11th would be too much you know that you have reached your maximum efficiency without going over Read more
