What is the best workout to lose weight?

Answer 1

You need to eat 5-6 small meals a day. Eat some protein with each meal! Cut out all refined sugar!!! Also add more fiber. The fiber and protein will fill you up, helping you to cut down on your unhealthy eating. Also by eating more than 3 meals spread out through the day you will kick your metabolism in high gear. Here is a general meal for a day:

Breakfast: 2 poached eggs

whole wheat toast

1/2 cup fruit

Snack: Cottage Cheese with veggie

Lunch: Turkey, lettuce, tomato, whole wheat bread sandwich

1/2 cup fruit

Snack: Protein Shake

Dinner: Turkey Burger ( no bun )

Side of brown rice

Side of Broccoli

Then exercise regularly 4-5 days a week. Do both cardio and lifting. But on days that you do both. Do lifting before your cardio and you will maximize your fat burn.

So Example :

Monday - 30 mins lifting then 1 hr cardio

Tuesday - 1 hour lifting

Wednesday - Rest

Thursday- 30 mins lifting then 1 hr cardio

Friday - 1 hour lifting

Saturday - Rest

Sunday - 30 mins lifting then 1 hr cardio

Answer 2

A minimum of 45 minutes of aerobic exercises such as swimming and running are very good for one's cardiovascular health, however, the best exercise to lose weight is weight-lifting. Focus on exercising your largest muscles--legs and back-- for the best work-out.

Answer 3

The best exercise to lose weight is moderate aerobic exercise. This is movement which elevates your heart rate, but allows you to still carry on a conversation. For weight loss, the activity should be sustained for more than 20 minutes. The longer you continue the activity after the first 20 minutes the more calories you will burn.

Also, as your fitness level increases you will notice that you need to increase the intensity of the activity to raise your heart rate adequately. My favorite recommendations are walking, jogging, dancing, and bike riding.

1) An exercise for your chest muscles (and more), is described in this linked page.

2) For your arms and back, alternate between pushups on the floor, and pullups to a chinning bar. These strengthen different arm muscles, so just one is only half as good. You can make a wooden chinning bar in a doorway, or purchase a metal one.

3) An exercise for your stomach abs (and more), is described in this linked page.

Try to get plenty of moderate aerobic exercise (intense exercise may damage your joints). It isn't essential to join a gym; you can do sit-ups, pushups, dumbbell-lifting, jumping-jacks, and many other basic exercises at home. Walk as much as possible. Bicycling and swimming are good too. Even for people who are not trying to lose weight, being active helps your digestion, your circulation, and other body processes, and will help improve your mood.

Other information:

Doctors and dieticians recommend losing weight gradually, allowing a whole month for every 4 to 8 pounds you want to lose. Do not starve yourself, or skip meals, or try throwing up. A cycle of diminished physical fitness will happen if you diet too quickly (too drastically). As soon as you ease up on a drastic diet, your weight will balloon up once again.

Even more important than exercise, is avoiding junk foods and sweetened drinks such as soda. Try to avoid refined flour and pasta, processed foods, fried foods, and fatty cuts of meat. Cut down on added sugar and added salt. Even for people who are not trying to lose weight, it is recommended to have no more than about 6 teaspoons of sugar per day (and many processed foods contain sugar, corn syrup or the like).

Our great-grandparents didn't have the epidemic of obesity we see today, because they had a less-sedentary lifestyle, a much more natural diet, and they ate reasonably-sized portions.

Eat 3 not-large-portioned meals per day; do not skip breakfast; and avoid sugary snacks. If you want a snack, try (for example) an apple or a handful of unsalted nuts.

Limit your calories (best to consult a doctor or nutritionist concerning the amount), and weigh yourself at the same time each day, 2-3 times per week. If you see your weight diminishing at a safe, reasonable rate (1-2 pounds/week), keep it up.

Once you've reached your goal, increase your calorie intake somewhat, so that you can maintain your present weight. And you can then have small amounts of sweetened foods or junk food on occasion (if at all), along with your regular healthy foods. But keep checking your weight 2-3 times/week.

Avoid crash-diets, fad diets, diet pills, etc. These may be harmful, and need not be considered by people who have adopted an otherwise healthy diet.

More guidelines:
Don't concentrate on specific foods so much as on a balanced, healthy diet plus exercise.

Healthy nutrition means eating what your body needs, while ingesting as few harmful things as possible. It has also been described as getting enough of each of the major food categories, in healthy forms (grains, fruits, vegetables, protein, dairy, etc.; plus plenty of water).

In general, an example of a healthy starting point could be a menu of whole-grain foods and bread, a good amount of vegetables, legumes, some fruits and nuts, fish, lean meats in not-large amounts, and some dairy. However, this may need adjusting according to one's lifestyle, age, health, weight and other factors at the outset; and also later, as one sees what works for him/her in particular.

Also...whenever you feel queasy, nauseous, constipated or otherwise not completely well, try to remember what you've eaten over the last several hours or the last day. This is one factor in adjusting one's food habits.

Disclaimer: Sensible diet plans such as the one above may be good for most people, but there are exceptions. Some people with complications such as glandular or other disorders, may find the above plan to be insufficient. If one keeps gaining weight despite eating healthily, professional advice may be needed.

Answer 5

the best work out is to use some cardeo and muscle workoutand apply the FITT principle FITT stands for Frequency Intensity Time Type

Answer 6

Well, surprisingly, walking or running. Walking is even better that swimming, because you are using every muscle in your body, and you don't have the water supporting you.

Answer 7

There is no exercise for the cardiovascular system that is "best" for everyone. Any exercise that makes the system work is "good," such as aerobics, swimming, walking, jogging, sports, etc.

Answer 8

Pushing away from the table. If you use more calories than you eat, you must lose weight. So diet goes with exercise.
