Push Ups:
This is a popular exercise performed while you’re in a flat position. You lift your body weight up by using your arms. This works on your pectoral muscles, triceps. It also helps you with your mid-section strength and increases your metabolism. Push-ups not only help you getting a good shape but also lose fat from all around your body.
HOW TO DO
It is suggested to do 3-4 sets and 10-12 reps of this.
Sit Ups:
Just like push up this is one of easy exercise which can be done without going to the gym and any sort of equipment. For starters, you may need help with your partners. We can start by lying on your back on a exercise mat. Now, place your hand behind your head exactly where the head is joining to your neck. Keep your elbows towards the walls of your room. Now breathe out and push your belly inside and lift your back upwards bending your waist and hips. Keep lifting until your torso is few inches away from your thighs. Now, breathe in and go back to your earlier position. Keep it slow and controlled movement.
HOW TO DO
It is suggested to do 3 sets and 10 reps of this.
Chin Ups:
To do chin ups, you should use grip. Now grasp the bar with a shoulder width grip. Make sure the grip is good enough to hold your weight. Once you are good, take a deep breath, squeeze your glutes and strut your abs. Now pull up your body until the chin touch the bar. Breathe out and lower yourself down slowly. Repeat the steps.
HOW TO DO
It is suggested to do at least 8-10 reps of this.
Aerobic Activity:
Any aerobic activity is meant to make your heart beat faster than usual. You should start with walking fast. You can also hit a walking machine or elliptical bike, but you should be able to keep a conversation with your trainer. Slowly increase the pace of your exercise and jog for around 4-5 miles in a day. It is good to keep a track of your heart rate, it should be anywhere between 60% to 70%. Increase the speed if it goes down to 60% and decrease if more than 70%.
Step-Ups:
Step ups are one of the best exercise specially for the ladies and girls. Easy to do, no equipment needed. To start step ups, place your right foot on to the bench, a step or a chair. Pressurize yourself through the right heel as you step onto the bench. Now bring your left foot to meet your left and position yourself in a way that you are standing on the bench. Now we are going back to the starting position by stepping down with the right foot. Now, do the same thing with your left feet. Repeat the same process.
HOW TO DO
It is suggested to do 3-4 sets and 20-30 reps of this.
Swimming:
If we are talking about weight loss, we can’t neglect swimming. Swimming is one of the best exercises for weight loss and keep you healthy. I don’t think we need to discuss how to swim but it is a complete exercise for your whole body. This should be done 30-40 minutes in a day.
