Lose Fat : Best Exercises for Weight Loss

How this workout program works

This workout program involves both weights and running, but the emphasis here is on quick, increasingly difficult workouts of between 30 and 60 minutes. These workouts will help you rev up your metabolism and, when combined with improved nutrition, help you lose weight. Along the way, you’ll improve strength, mobility, stability, and overall endurance.

That’s why we’ll begin each of these four-times-a-week sessions with five minutes of movement preparation to better mimic the movements of everyday life, improve flexibility and mobility, and reduce risk of injury. And, of course, it will serve as a warmup for the coming workout.

Directions

The four workouts will remain consistent throughout the four weeks, but we’ll increase the degree of difficulty by adding sets, reps, distance, time, or a combination of all four. You should work out four days a week (ideally Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday), and designate Wednesday as active recovery.

Keep your weekends free. We should note, however, that any weight-loss program should encompass healthy eating, minimal or no alcohol, and an active weekend lifestyle of sports and outdoor activities that will complement your work during the week.
