The most effective exercises for whole body weight loss - a weekly training program

One of the main causes of obesity is the lack of the required amount of muscle activity. Therefore, to solve this problem, you must first use physical exercises for weight loss. There are 2 main types of training: aerobic (running, swimming, step aerobics, etc. ) and power (deadlifts, push-ups, twists, etc. ). To achieve the maximum fat burning effect, classes should be carried out according to a pre-established schedule.

Static exercises, high-intensity interval training (CrossFit), yoga and breathing exercises are also effective in the fight against extra pounds.

cardio

The main advantage of aerobic exercise is that it involves a high caloric expenditure. An increase in energy expenditure (with a balanced diet) triggers the breakdown of subcutaneous fat. During cardio training, all parts of the body lose weight: belly, hips, hips, buttocks, arms, shoulders, back and face.

The most effective aerobic exercises for weight loss:

An exercise	Tips on how to exercise
Step aerobics	It's a sort of cardio workout, which is based on rhythmic stepping on the treadmill. To increase the load during step aerobics, jumping up a hill, you can use active swing movements with arms and legs. The duration of one lesson should be 35-45 minutes
skipping rope	The exercise is performed in cycles - six to eight sets of 1-2 minutes each. Rest between sets should not exceed 60 seconds
cross country skiing	One of the most energy-intensive exercises. Due to the fact that all muscle groups take an active part in its implementation, cross-country skiing faster than other cardio loads allows you to "dry" thighs, waist, buttocks and other problem areas of the body from fat. The duration of the workout is determined by its intensity. On average, half an hour of exercise at an average pace twice a week is enough to activate the weight loss process.
Cyclic workouts on treadmill	The main factor in the effectiveness of the exercise is its duration (at least 40 minutes). To withstand this amount of work, running must be divided into six cycles, each of which should consist of a five-minute load and a two-minute rest.
Exercises on the orbit track (elliptical)	In summer, cross-country skiing can completely replace cardio training on an ellipsoid. You should train on the simulator for about half an hour, having previously set up the program using the electronic screen. The entire workout can be broken up into three or four rounds of 6-8 minutes each, resting one minute between sets.
A bicycle ride	The best exercise to "dry" the legs and reduce the amount of fat in other parts of the body. The duration of the bike ride will depend on its intensity. On average, cardio training should take 40-50 minutes. It is recommended to change speed and mode (uphill, downhill or flat road) every 5-7 minutes
I swim	Water procedures in the pool or open water should last about 35-45 minutes (the time depends on the intensity and temperature of the water). To enhance the fat burning effect, it is recommended to swim in different styles.

Burpe

This weight loss exercise is very popular, as it includes elements of cardio and strength training. This allows busy men and women to effectively load the muscles of the whole body, spending no more than 20 minutes a day.

Basic exercises for weight loss in the gym

Strength training with multi-joint exercises is one of the best ways to lose fat. The presence of special equipment and shells available in the gym allows you to effectively load all large muscle groups, stimulate the production of testosterone, autotropin and other hormones that positively affect the rate of weight loss.

The basic complex must necessarily include squats, traction of the upper block behind the back, bench press and twists.

Static loads

Exercises without amplitude for weight loss are effective for men and women with pathologies of the musculoskeletal system. You can perform them daily in various combinations.

Before class, it is recommended to do a light warm-up and stretching.

Technique:

1. From a standing position, lean your body forward.
2. Place your hands on the floor.
3. Sharply lift your legs off the surface, bringing your body to an upright position.
4. Stay on your hands for 30-40 seconds.
5. After a minute break, do three more approaches.

Balancing

Legs, buttocks, back, hips and shoulders are stressed by the need to keep the body (in balance) in position on one leg with an inclination.

Execution Sequence:

1. Being in a standing position, lift the left foot off the floor and tilt the body forward.

5. Lock in this position for 40-55 seconds.
6. Rest for one minute and do three more similar sets.

Yoga offers a large number of static exercises (asanas) for weight loss. And although the effectiveness compared to strength training and cardio is small, their use can be justified in diseases of the musculoskeletal system and other pathologies when heavy physical activity is not recommended.

cross fit

For men and women who are in good physical shape and do not have health problems, it is recommended to use crossfit for weight loss - high-intensity interval training performed by alternating aerobic and strength loads during one approach.

An example of a crossfit workout could look like this:

1. 20 push-ups from the floor.
2. 15 hammer blows on a tire.
3. Jump rope (1 minute).
4. Six barbell squats.
5. 30 seconds of work on the ellipsoid.
6. Eight tire launches.

The exercises are performed without rest. As part of a workout, you can do three or four of these circular sets.

Breathing exercises

It has been established that the saturation of the body with oxygen contributes to an increase in the rate of fat burning. This effect is used during weight loss.

There are four main breathing exercises:

1. Body flexion.The workout consists of taking a slow, deep breath, followed by stretching the diaphragm and exhaling.
2. oxysize.The technique is based on a combination of continuous diaphragmatic breathing with physical exercises. 1 cycle includes sequentially produced inhalation, three dovdokhov, exhalation and three dovodyha.
3. qigong. It is performed in various positions: sitting, standing, in the lotus position. The essence of the technique is the implementation of deep breaths through the nose and slow exhalations through the mouth.
4. Pranayama.It is an element of yoga and includes a wide variety of breathing techniques. Much attention is paid to the emotional background when performing Pranayama.

Breathing exercises alone are not able to lead to rapid weight loss. However, when included in a cardio and strength training program, they will help increase the rate of fat burning, activate the metabolism and speed up the recovery process after physical exertion.
