Weight Loss Tip #87- Exercise 45 minutes daily

If you think a leisurely 20-minute walk on a treadmill is going to make you lose weight, you are wrong. To kick your metabolism, you must burn more calories than you intake from food every day. If you want to lose at least 2 kgs in a month, you need to burn an extra 500 calories in a day. Weight loss will not come easily if you do not even burn 200 calories during your workout. So, make sure to workout at least for 45 minutes a day to burn more calories and build muscle.

If you are new to exercising, you could start with walking and slowly graduate to jogging and then running. According to Althea Shah, Fitness Expert and VP Marketing Gold’s Gym India, combining your cardio with strength training is critical for weight loss. It will help you build lean muscles and burn more calories, facilitating better weight loss. To burn more fat, you should go for exercises that target more than one muscle group. Bench press, pull-ups, squats and deadlift are the four best exercises to burn fat.

Along with cardio and weight training, you should also include yoga in your fitness routine. Yoga poses like virabhadrasana and utkatasana can be an excellent way to burn fat around your midsection.
