The Best Exercises to Lose Weight – Achieving Your Perfect Body

Some of the best exercises to lose weight are probably not what you’d expect.  It is a commonly held belief that the best way to lose weight is through hours of moderate intensity cardio exercises.  Fortunately for us, this couldn’t be further from the truth.

Believe it or not, 15 minutes of high intensity interval training can be more effective than an hour or more of jogging.  Why?  Because the higher level of oxygen consumption from intense workout will increase your resting metabolic rate (RMR) for the next 24 hours.  This means that weight loss can be achieved with as little as three short workouts per week.

So what exactly is interval training?  High Intensity Interval training (or HIIT) can be defined as a set of intense exercises separated by intervals of rest or low intensity exercise.  An example of one of my favorite HIIT exercises (and one of the most effective exercises to lose weight) would be the hill sprint exercise.  Find a nearby slope that extends for about 20 yards.  Proceed to sprint up the hill and walk down it for 20 minutes.  Do not stop at the top or bottom to rest.

This can also be done on flat ground by alternating between a hard run and a light jog every 30 seconds for 10-15 minutes.  Just be sure to do a 3-5 minute warm-up/cool-down jog to help your heart rate transition back to normal levels.  And remember, keep your total workout time short.  Aim for somewhere between 30-45 minutes, including your warm-up and cool-down exercises.

If you’re looking for a detailed program complete with HIIT routines and other exercises to lose weight, be sure to check out Craig Ballantyne’s Turbulence Training.  It’s one of the best programs on the subject, and Craig provides excellent support to help you reach your goals.  For more information on Turbulence Training and to see reviews and customer comments, visit my site here:  FitnessReport.org: Turbulence Training.
