Best exercises for weight loss

Hi Viru, Why dont you try Yogasanas? Yogasanas are really very effective in helping you to lose weight. And unlike high intensity workouts, they are easy on your joints and muscles and not much wear and tear is involved. besides people from any age group can do them. off course you need to do them correctly and its better to learn them from an expert. Here are few effective yogasanas. 1.Ushtra Asana Kneel down with your heels facing the ceiling, toes turned outward and arms hanging loosely by the sides. Breathe in. Raise arms gently to shoulder level, then higher, and finally backwards such that your palms touch the heel of the corresponding foot. Stretch your neck letting your head fall backwards. You will feel the stretch in your spine. Gently push the pelvic region forward, improving upon the curve of the spine. Breathe normally. Breathe in and return to the starting position. Repeat two to three times. Each time try to hold the stretch as long as you comfortably can. Why it works This asana stretches your entire upper body — the neck, chest and stomach. These places house the lymph glands such as the thymus, tonsils and the spleen. They are primarily responsible for filtering out bacteria and other waste from the blood. Inefficient lymph glands lead to inefficient drainage and collection of fat. Ushtra Asana mobilises the lymph glands, hence preventing cellulite. The increased blood circulation and faster cell rejuvenation within these regions helps bust existing cellulite, slowly but surely. 2.Virya-stambhan Asana Stand with feet spread wide apart, toes pointing straight ahead. Turn the right leg at a 90 degree angle. Then bend the right knee. Hold your right wrist with your left hand behind your back, bend to your right and gently attempt to touch your big toe with the tip of your nose. However ensure that as you bend, your right knee or right thigh doesn't come in way of your right shoulder. Hold this position for up to 30 seconds. Inhale and slowly return to the start. Repeat the exercise with your left leg. Repeat the asana two to three times. Why it works This asana really stretches the inside of your thighs. Rising back from the bend strengthens the thighs, exercising them is similar to working with weights in a gym. This helps burn fats in the thighs. It also exercises the lymph nodes present in the groin area and improves the blood circulation in lower region, thereby busting cellulite pockets. 3.Purna Shalbh Asana Lie on your stomach. Make a fist. Position it under your thigh, elbows straight. Breathe in. With the support of your folded fists, lift up both legs without bending them at the knees. Tighten the back of thighs and buttocks, holding on to the final pose for as long as possible. Relax the tightened thighs and buttocks. Breathe in. Now, holding your breath, gradually lower the legs to the ground. As your legs touch the ground, release your breath and breathe normal. Repeat two to three times, each time trying to hold on to the final pose for as long as possible. Why it works Lifting the legs and trying to hold them for a long time requires strength. As you try harder, the fuel required to get that energy is generated by burning up the fat in thighs and buttocks. 4.Paschimottan Asana Sit down with your legs outstretched in the front, touching each other, your arms to your sides. Keep your spine erect and raise both your hands above your head, while the inside of your arms touch your ears. Exhale and pull the stomach in and bend forward, stretching your hands towards your toes. Now try to hold your toes with your fingers and subsequently with practice, try to touch your forehead to your knees. Hold this final pose for as long as possible, after which you inhale and gradually come back to the starting position. Why it works As your body bends forward, your entire back area (considered your west side in yoga) is stretched. The bending movement affects every part from the heel's tip to the neck (inclusive of the hamstring muscles, buttocks, waist, back and the medulla oblongata). This extreme stretch works the major muscles of the back, along with the skin. The stretch causes better blood circulation within the region and prevents build up of fat. The skin too is stretched leading to better elasticity and over time can aid in reducing the dimpled look that cellulite is characterised by.

Hi Viru, the best is to let gravity works against you. That means find an apartment block, walk up the stairs, that is the time when you really feel how heavy you are, and how out of shape you are. It is your body working against you, since you are walking up, and gravity pulls you down. It is hard to walk for every long time in this manner. Just three minutes walk up the stairs, you will feel like dying. If you do it three times a day, even for three minutes each session, that will help you.

Anything cardiovascular, that gets your heart pumping. Bicycling, walking, running, swimming, sports, kickboxing, etc. Anything that gets your body active and gets you to a target heart rate. Consistency seems to be important with it, too, and I would suggest doing MORE than 20 minutes a day (supposedly your metabolism goes into overdrive with burning caloriesa fter the first 20 minutes of exercise. Not sure if that's actually true or not, but it can't hurt even if it's not). Good luck to ya!

Hi viru, There's no easy way for weight loss for it involve a lot of sacrifice, self denial and discipline to make it effective. My sure-fire way to weight loss is not to eat anything at all. When food becomes scarce due to economic constraints or when I am in the jungle, I cannot buy delicious foods anymore, I cannot buy ice cream or chocolates or beefsteak. I only have to rely on herbs and leaves of grasses that I can get around me. They are also right that walking is a good weight loss regimen. I walk ten kilometers everyday up and down the mountain trails looking for food. I have to survive only on water on days on end. A month of this and I am down to bones and skin in no time at all.

When it comes to working out to lose weight there are multiple things that you can do. You can walk at a brisk pace. As well you can do jogging, aerobics, and as well you can do kickboxing or shadow boxing. If your joints are up to it you can also do sprinting. Another thing that you can do are what is called pilates. They are good for lose weight and toning muscle.

I believe that running,jogging and walking are still the best simple exercises to lose weight. We all want to lose that extra fat on our tummies and cardio vascular works are still the best without going to gym.

The Best exercise for me should be easily maintain and done regularly without going to the gym is walking. Walking is said to be one of the best exercise for losing weight or not. The percentage of fat burning is around the 55% of the mark, however as with all exercises it really depends on the intensity of effort. Walking does not only burns a good proportion of stored fat it can also burn a large amount of calories especially if performed for longer durations and at a brisk pace. A good balance between the percentage of fat and the total calories burned should be the basis behind choosing any exercise for losing weight. And definitely walking is a great start for people of any age who wishing to lose weight fast.

How about walking? Walk an hour every day should help. I think it would be easy enough for you.

1) Aerobics, 2) Swimming, 3) Yoga, 4) Walking,and 5) Dancing. These are some of the best exercise by which one can easily reduce the weight.
