Cardio

Cardio is an important part of any exercise routine, but doing just cardio is not enough for achieving your weight loss goals. This exercise is great for elevating your heart rate and burning calories, but if you want to get better results, you need to include exercises that build your muscles too. There are different types of cardio workouts, such as biking, jogging, walking and dancing. If you have any injury that limits you from doing a high-impact movement, don’t worry, you can opt for low-impact cardio, it is equally beneficial.

When it comes to losing weight, compound low-impact exercises such as squats, inchworms, modified burpees and marchers are the best, say trainers. This is because these movements involve multiple major muscle groups, resulting in max calorie burn.

Strength training

Cardio along with strength training is an effective way to lose weight. You can perform strength training, with your own bodyweight or lifting weights. It can help you lose fat while building muscle mass. And the more muscle you have in your body, the more calories you will burn every day. Better metabolism then can lead to healthy weight loss. Strength training usually involves using dumbbells or weight machines, but you can still build strength without equipment. Best strength training exercises include bodyweight squats, crunches, pushups, walking lunges, dumbbell rows (you can use a gallon milk jug), plank, jumping Jacks.

Compound movements

There are multi-joint movements that work multiple muscle groups at the same time. For example, squat is a compound exercise that engages many muscles including the quadriceps, hamstrings, calves, glutes, lower back, and core. Compound exercises can also be done by combining two exercises at one time to target even more muscles (for example, a lunge with a bicep curl)

Similarly, you can combine cardio with strength exercises to burn calories while building strength. Mixing in both weights and cardio interval training can also help in building bone density and strengthening your cardiovascular system, say experts.

Besides exercise, it is important to cut your calorie intake and manage your macronutrient ratios. Also, you need to have plenty of protein to help rebuild muscles after exercise, especially after strength training.
