Best Exercises for Weight LossⅥ

Running

The least equipment demanding workout there is. Just make sure your shoes are good quality! Vary your run speed or use hills to increase your workout.

The dreaded treadmill and elliptical machines are great for an indoor run that allows you to add hills. Get your glutes and thigh muscles involved for extra calorie burning.

If you can’t run, walk up hills, change your speed and you can still get in an age or injury appropriate workout.

Lunges

A lunge uses the big leg and butt muscles for maximum calorie burning. Start with your feet hip width apart and hands on hips. Step forward with one leg.

Keep your back straight, lower your body until you form a 90-degree angle of your front and back legs. Come upright and step back. Repeat with the other leg. Do ten times on a side for three sets.

If you can’t go all the way, do what you can. You’ll see improvement over time.
