Hey fit nation, in
this post we'll be discussing five simple and effective cardio exercises that
speed up weight loss.
There are many
exercises that help with weight loss however below are my favorite
five:
1. JOGGING: Jogging burns more calories than most
cardio exercises; it also helps build endurance and strengthens the legs. If you are serious about weight loss, you
should incorporate jogging to your workout routine.
For
starters, it is advisable to start with walking long distances then progress to
jogging shorter distances and as your endurance grows you can increase speed
and distance.
2. SKIPPING: Skipping is effective for weight
loss, it boosts the heart rate and improves your cardiovascular system thereby
enabling you to burn a reasonable amount of calories in a short time. It is
easy to practice and there are different variations of the skipping exercise
you can try.
3. DEADLIFT: The Dead lift is a workout
program with amazing results whether you are looking to lose weight, build
muscles or build strength and stamina. It works on all muscle groups in the
body and helps you burn fat faster.
. 4. BURPEES:
The burpee exercise, named after an American Physiologist Royal H.
Burpee is one of the most effective exercises for weight loss and body toning.
It requires no equipments; it’s easy to do and the benefits are immense.
To
do this exercise follow the steps below:
*From
a standing position get into the plank form
*Lower
your chest to do a push up
*Push
your feet back to their original position

up, Jump with both hands up.

5. SQUATS:
If you are a body builder reading this post, you will agree that the
squat exercise is the king of all exercises. It works on all parts of the body,
strengthens more muscles than the most weight-lifting exercises and is
therefore an effective exercise for weight loss, gaining strength and
endurance.
However,
it is important that you do the squat exercise correctly to avoid knee or back
injury (especially if you are using weights to perform this exercise).
If
you are starting out, it is advisable that you first get acquainted with the
body weight squat before progressing to using weights or resistance.
There are several variations of the squat program that works on different muscle groups, try as many as possible and have fun all the way.

Remember the
formula for weight loss is: burn more calories than you consume daily. For
better results, you should follow a dietary meal plan while doing these
exercises.
Cheers to the fit life.
