Exercises are an imperative part of any weight loss plan. But with today’s busy schedules, people do not find time to invest in workout and weight loss programs. However, there are a few exercises that can help one to lose the most weight quickly.
In a broader sense, exercises can be classified into two types – Aerobic and Anaerobic (or strength training). Each exercise contributes to the weight loss program differently.

Aerobic exercises can burn fat while you are doing the exercise itself. Whereas, anaerobic exercises basically contributes to the weight loss program by increasing the speed of a person’s RMR – resting metabolic rate. RMR is the number of calories your body can burn while you are at rest. A person’s resting metabolic rate can burn more calories as it takes a lot of energy to maintain muscles than to maintain fat.

However, one must also understand that muscles weigh more than fat and hence few strength-training activities will make you look very attractive and healthier while not contributing to your weight loss regime. Muscles are a ‘better’ kind of weight a person can put on; so, one must aim to build more muscles to maintain and control body fat.

Below mentioned are a few exercises that you can practice at home. The exercises include both aerobic and anaerobic.

Squats: The largest muscles in a person body are the leg muscles and the buttocks. Stand in front of a mirror and put your feet at shoulder width and stand straight. Then squat up and down for ten to twenty times for two or three sets. This will build your buttocks and leg muscles. However, before doing this make sure you warm up and stop doing if you notice any pain in your knees.

Pushups: They are a kind of strength training. While doing a pushup your arms will have to support about seventy percent of your body weight. Twenty pushups and in sets of two or three can give build your arm strength and ensure an increase in your resting metabolic rate.

Walking Fast: Walking in itself is an excellent aerobic exercise; fast walking is a better exercise than anything else in order to burn excess body fat. However, before fast walking, make sure you do a few warm up exercises. While walking, make sure you are walking as fast as possible for long durations. However, if you feel tired in between, you can switch to slow walking for few minutes.
