11 Best Exercises For You To Lose Weight Naturally

Trying to lose weight naturally? You definitely need the right routine. But  what if you don’t have enough time to exercise? Don’t worry, there’s a solution. Exercise  intensely, but for shorter periods. Studies have shown that shorter bouts of exercise are far more effective in burning fat.

In this article, we’ll be talking about some amazing exercises that help  you lose weight naturally. Everyone knows running helps you lose weight. But what’s the proper way to run? Will spinning help? What are battle ropes? We’re talking about all of this AND more...

1. Running 

Running is one of the easiest ways to burn  calories. Some people live for the runner’s high. Others simply hate the very thought  of waking up and going for a jog. If you want to lose weight, find a way to run  on a regular basis. If you feel like your run is lasting too long, you can try speeding up  and slowing down to keep yourself interested. The Fartlek sprinting routine is a popular method  used to keep your running session effective. You start with a 5-minute jog, then switch between a  10-second sprint and a 50-second jog at a moderate pace. The 50-second jog helps you catch your  breath in order for you to do the sprint faster.

2. Jump rope

You probably last used jump ropes when you were in grade school.  The same jump ropes can be very effective tools when used as part of your workout routine. If you follow a jump rope routine for 30 minutes, you can burn more than 300 calories. You  will also be exercising your heart muscles.When you jump rope, you’re  doing a full-body workout. Your quads and glutes get fired up with  this workout, and also engage your core. Your arms and shoulders also get a bit of workout.  All thanks to the action of swinging the rope. 

3. Strength training

When you choose to do strength training, you’re helping your muscles become lean. The  exercise also helps boost your metabolism. This is especially helpful to people in their 30’s. This  is when your metabolism starts slowing down a bit. Doing this strength training also  reduces the risk of osteoporosis. The more force you place on your bone, the  stronger it grows. It also helps strengthen your shoulders, hips and spine. It doesn’t, of  course, mean you lift more than you can handle.

4. Kickboxing

Here’s another intensive workout that can help you burn a lot of calories. You will also have a  chance to build your muscles and relieve stress. A kickboxing routine works  on your core and obliques, as well as the legs. You also get the advantage  of working on your balance and coordination. You can try different combinations of kicking  combos to spice up your kickboxing routine. It’s generally recommended you do at least 30 minutes  of this exercise for the most effective benefits. 

5. Spinning

Spin classes have become very popular, with a number of studios popping up everywhere. This is  because it’s so effective for burning calories. If you’re one of those people who hates running,  spinning is your next best option, whether it’s a stationary cycle, or an actual bike. It’s not just about pushing the pedal, though. It’s more about maintaining form  and engaging your core muscles. You can make spinning into a full-body workout  that works on your thighs and glutes. You can start your routine by beginning with a  10-minute warm up. Then pedal hard for 30 seconds, and then take it easy for one minute. Repeat this  routine four times, and then rest by pedaling easily for four minutes. Doing this for more than  30 minutes can be effective for your weight loss. 

6. HIIT

If you’re looking for the best way to burn calories, and raise your metabolism,  High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) is the ideal workout for you. The best part about HIIT is that it doesn’t take up too much of your time. Some routines are even as short as 10 minutes. But of course, this is most effective when you push your body to the limit with all your energy.  HIIT has been proven to help you reduce your  belly fat, which is the toughest to cut  down on, and also causes heart disease. Just like with spinning, it’s important you  maintain your body form while you’re doing  your workout. It helps increase the intensity on  all the core muscles, while also making sure you don’t suffer any injuries.

7. Rowing 

Rowing is not something you can simply start doing  at home. It comes with expensive equipment. But  the good news is almost every gym has a rowing  machine, and it’s time you made full use of it. Rowing can increase your cardio. It also works on  your quads, glutes, hamstrings, arms and back all  at the same time. While you might think the power  of rowing comes from the arms, it actually comes from the legs and engages your core muscles. If you’re one of the many people with an office job, your back starts to hurt from all your time  sitting at a desk. If you take up rowing at your gym, it will help correct your spine and hips.

8. Elliptical 

An elliptical may look like an  easy machine to do your workout on, but it’s not something you can relax on. You need  to increase the resistance and do the workout at a good pace. At least until you become breathless. Be sure to use the handles while you’re doing your workout. Not just because it stops you from  flying off. The handles will increase the number of calories you burn, while also reducing the  fat in your body. You will also feel less stress after a run on the elliptical.

 9. Battleropes 

This is another piece of equipment that’s  gaining popularity, and for good reason. They can help you complete a full-body workout  without too much of a fuss. When you work the battle ropes at high intensity, you will also  be able to do a cardio workout at the same time. It’s a simple enough exercise, but needs to be  done properly. You hold the ends of the ropes in each hand, and keep your feet apart so that  they’re as wide as your shoulders. You then need to bend your knees, but keep your chest upwards.  Once you’re in position, you can start whipping your arms one after the other. This creates  a sort of wave across the length of the rope. You can try different tempos and routines to keep  it interesting, while also ensuring you get the most out of the workout.

10. Swimming 

Losing weight doesn’t necessarily mean you  have to run and spin every moment of the day. There’s another way you can bring down  your weight, and that’s through swimming. While swimming can be a low-impact workout, it  still gives you great cardio as well as strength training. In fact, even standing in cooler  water without doing anything can help you burn calories. This is because the body will burn  fat to keep you warm, while you’re in the cold. When you swim, you use your legs and arms, as  well as the core to ensure you remain afloat. This puts all your muscles to work.

11. StairMaster 

Feel like you’re already perfectly fit?  Try climbing a couple flights of stairs. No matter how fit you feel, it’s always a  challenge to climb up something. This is because you’re engaging your calves, glutes  and quads to carry your entire body upwards. So how do you do a StairMaster workout? Well  first, you’ll climb stairs at a comfortable, moderate pace. You then give all your  effort into climbing as fast and as you can.  

Just make sure you're safe. The  last thing you want is to fall down the stairs. Keep switching  between a high and moderate pace. Losing weight isn’t just about exercising.  You also need to watch your daily diet. There are foods you absolutely need to  avoid in order to prevent weight gain. You’d be surprised to hear there are bedtime drinks that can be helpful  as well.
