Best Exeecises to Lose Weight
The best exercise to lose weight is one that burns calories efficiently, engages large muscle groups, and is sustainable for you. The key is consistency + intensity + diet.
Here are the top exercises for weight loss, ranked by effectiveness:
🔥 1. High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT)
- What it is: Short bursts of intense effort followed by rest (e.g., 30 sec sprint + 30 sec walk).
- Why it's effective: Burns lots of calories fast, boosts metabolism for hours afterward (afterburn effect).
- Examples:
- Sprinting intervals
- Jump squats, burpees, mountain climbers in circuits
- Time: 15–30 mins
🏃 2. Running or Jogging
- Calories burned: ~600–800 kcal/hr (depends on pace and weight)
- Tip: Do it outdoors or on a treadmill; mix with incline or intervals for more burn.
🚶 3. Brisk Walking (Underrated!)
- Calories burned: ~250–350 kcal/hr
- Best for: Beginners, people with joint issues, daily fat burning.
- Tip: Do 10,000–12,000 steps/day or 45–60 mins fast walk.
🚴 4. Cycling (Outdoor or Stationary)
- Calories burned: ~400–700 kcal/hr
- Low impact: Good for knees and long sessions.
- Bonus: Fun if done outdoors.
🏋️ 5. Strength Training / Weight Lifting
- Why it helps: Builds muscle = more fat burned even at rest.
- Best combo: Strength + cardio (e.g., 3x/week strength + 3x/week cardio).
- Exercises:
- Squats, lunges, deadlifts
- Push-ups, pull-ups, dumbbells
🧘 6. Swimming
- Calories burned: ~400–600 kcal/hr
- Full-body workout with low joint stress.
- Great if you enjoy water or have injuries.
