Looking for exercises to lose weight quickly?
Sounds to me like you may be barking up the wrong tree.
That's right. Guess it falls to me to report that there are no magic exercises to lose weight quickly. No matter how desperate you may be. But that's not to say that exercise won't help you lose weight.

Besides quick weight loss is not a safe weight loss. That's because shooting to lose more than 2 pounds a week, and doing what it might take to achieve that (fad diets and all), results in precious muscle loss too. Which isn't exactly healthy either. Remember too, the pounds you gained did not appear overnight. It took months, if not years, for you to gain them. So why should losing those pounds be different? So do yourself a favor. Lower your expectations a little bit and aim for slow, consistent, but safe, weight loss. |
Best exercises to help you get there? Well, if I could sum up losing weight not muscle and getting in shape in just four steps, here is what those ways would be…
Increase Muscle Mass Without Getting Massive
An effective way to burn more calories naturally is to increase your lean muscle mass. As you know muscle burns more calories than fat. Even when you sitting watching TV. So by building muscles you increase your basal metabolic rate - which is a fancy way of saying you are actually burning more calories when your bod's doing nothing too. So add weights to your workouts to get those toned (not body builder like) muscles.
Keep Your Workouts Simple
The simpler the better. No sense in making this complicated when something simple will do.
To that end you can include any cardio routine you like to lose weight safely. Be that a stationary bike, the elliptical machine, your treadmill. Anything will do really. As long as you are pushing for the 70-80% target heart rate for 30-40 minutes. Oh and it's something you like to do. That's important too.
When done hit the weights to maintain your increased metabolism many hours later.
Keep Your Eye On the Ball - Exercise Ball That Is
If you prefer to avoid the gym then get an exercise ball and some light weight dumbbells. Then do a variety of exercises following a beginner DVD or the instruction sheet that often comes with exercise balls. For maximum fat loss keep increasing the intensity of the exercises.
Don't Skip the Rope
Jumping rope is not just for kids. It's also a great cardio workout and an excellent fat burner. The best way to lose weight quickly with jumping rope is to skip the rope for 30 minutes, rest for 30 minutes and again skip and rest until you feel bone tired. You'll almost feel the calories melting away.
You can do other forms of interval training like sprint and walk, bike and pedal etc. Do this 2-3 times in a week and you will lose weight without the fear of losing muscle.
Or …
If you prefer to do low intensity cardio then make sure you do not do it for more than 60 minutes. The reason being after an hour or so your body turns to protein or taps muscle tissue for energy after it has finished off the carbs in your body.
I know this wasn't exactly what you were hoping for - exercises to lose weight quickly. But I hope how you can see that's fool's gold and not the ideal approach to sustainable weight loss. But following these tips is the real deal and best way to shape up and get healthy.
