Exercises to Lose Weight Fast for beginners

What are the Exercises to Lose Weight Fast for beginners

Exercising can help you to lose weight. In order to lose weight through exercise, you need to do vigorous-intensity exercise. You can tell that you are exercising with vigorous intensity if you are breathing very hard and fast and cannot hold a conversation while exercising.

Moderate-intensity exercise helps to maintain your current weight. You can tell that you are exercising at a moderate level if you have a higher heart rate and faster breathing, but you are still able to hold a conversation.

How often should I exercise?

Choose an activity that you enjoy and set realistic goals. Your health care provider can help you to make an activity plan that works for you. Exercise regularly as directed by your health care provider. This may include:

  • Doing resistance training twice each week, such as:
    • Push-ups.
    • Sit-ups.
    • Lifting weights.
    • Using resistance bands.
  • Doing a given intensity of exercise for a given amount of time. Choose from these options:
    • 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise every week.
    • 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity exercise every week.
    • A mix of moderate-intensity and vigorous-intensity exercise every week.

Children, pregnant women, people who are out of shape, people who are overweight, and older adults may need to consult a health care provider for individual recommendations. If you have any sort of medical condition, be sure to consult your health care provider before starting a new exercise program.
