Best at Home Weight Loss ExercisesAn at home weight loss exercise routine is possible without any added equipment. You can easily burn excess body fat and build lean and sexy muscle by mastering this highly effective at home weight loss exercise routine and key concepts.
There are key concepts that will help you to maximize your weight loss exercise routine and understanding them is imperative if you want to shed those pounds and sculpt your body in the least amount of time possible.
TIPS BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Don't spend the majority of time targeting problem areas. Spot-reduction exercises for specific body parts will rarely produce significant weight loss because they are not challenging enough to accelerate the fat burning process. To put it more simply: they don't burn as many calories or elevate your metabolism to the extent that other, more effective exercises will.
Continue to be aware of that fact that, if your goal is to quickly lose weight, choosing more strenuous exercises will facilitate weight loss more efficiently than spending valuable time doing the less difficult spot-reduction exercises intended to tone only a single area of your body.
Compare 50 stomach crunches to 50 push-ups (they don't all have to be done in one set). The push-up repetitions are significantly more strenuous and require more effort; consequently doing 50 push-ups will burn more calories and produce more weight loss results than 50 crunches. In addition you will sculpt your chest, shoulders, and triceps while you work your core! Crunches can't do that.
Perform different exercises back-to-back with very few or no breaks between each exercise to maximize calorie burning efforts. This will elevate your fat burning metabolism to a much greater degree, and allow you to complete the workout in less time.
If necessary, start slowly and gradually increase the number of repetitions, decrease break times, and progress to more challenging exercises.
SELECT YOUR EXERCISES FROM THE FOLLOWING GROUPS
Choose one exercise from each of the following exercise groups. To add variety, switch exercises within each group on different days. Do not sacrifice form to increase repetitions.
lower body (squats, step-ups, lunges, hip extensions, jump squats, one leg RDL, etc)
upper body pushes ( push-ups, dips, handstand push-up variations)
upper body pull ( inverted rows and chin-ups)
abdominal exercise (planks, inch worms, reverse crunches)
total body exercise/miscellaneous (jumping jacks, burpees, bear crawls, squat thrusts)
EXAMPLE OF AN AT HOME WEIGHT LOSS EXERCISE ROUTINE
Alternating reverse lunges -- 12 each leg
Close grip push-ups -- 10
Inverted rows -- 12
Plank -- 30 seconds
Jumping jacks - 50 to 100
Perform each exercise back-to-back, without breaking between exercises before continuing to the next exercise.
Repeat this routine three to five more times.
DESIGN YOUR OWN AT HOME WEIGHT LOSS EXERCISE ROUTINE
To create your own workout, make sure you follow the tips previously discussed.
Make sure you choose big, compound exercises over those targeted to "problem spots". The bigger movements (such as lunges, squats, burpees, push-ups, inverted rows, planks, etc) will help you burn body fat to a much greater degree and allow you to achieve more results in less.
Also, make sure you keep your rest periods to a minimum and increase your repetitions and attempt more challenging exercises over time.
