The weight loss journey is a long and even sometimes exhausting one, but it is so rewarding once you have overcome this difficult path. It’s no secret that it’s not easy to prepare for it, especially when you know that there are so many ways of doing it. So, here’s a look at what kind of training you need to do and the question of how to lose weight efficiently. So here are the most popular exercises for weight loss:
Aerobics.
This includes dancing, running, cycling, walking, etc. Aerobic exercise is still considered the best sport for slimming. When you do aerobic exercise, your body uses more oxygen, which breaks down fat (the interaction between oxygen and fat molecules breaks down the latter, and the broken-down products are removed from the body). An hour of aerobic exercise uses 300-500 kilocalories. Of course, after such exercise you will feel exhausted, so a caffeine boost after your exercise could be a good idea. Coffee or caffeine nasal sprays might just do the trick.
Strength training.
Weight training or resistance training is not seen by many to burn fat, as the main function of weight training is thought to be muscle building and growth. However, the reality is somewhat different. Developed muscles automatically force the body to expend energy, which is why weight loss happens. Another variation of strength training is the training for relief, which is necessary specifically for fat burning.
Breathing techniques.
Not so long ago, the world of fitness was introduced to methods that have become very popular. These include slimming breathing, known as body flex, and its counterpart, oxycise, an effective breathing and exercise method for keeping fit and slimming. The latter name is derived from the words “oxygen” and “exercise”. These methods promise a staggering effect – up to five to seven kilograms per week. The ideologues of breathing practices claim that the process of ‘fat burning’ is achieved in this way: through exercise, a special breathing technique saturates the body with oxygen, which supposedly goes to the right places and burns fat.
The ability of slimming breathing and other breathing techniques to burn up to 3,000 kilocalories in a single session has been refuted as simply impossible. However, these workouts have a positive effect on metabolism and are good for digestion.
Static exercises.
These include callanetics, pilates, power yoga. When muscles are stretched, muscle synthesis is improved, i.e., muscle building, which uses energy from fat. Don’t be afraid of the word ‘building’, because it doesn’t mean that you will grow big muscles. They will just get stronger, but this will use calories, which is why static exercise also promotes slimming.
Try these sports and enjoy the results. If you are not sure where and how to start and want a regime that is tailored to your specific needs, ask your coaches to advise you on what is best for your specific situation. Don’t hesitate, just start achieving your goals here and now!
