More people are looking for ways to lose weight. Most resort to taking weight loss pills or following a low carb diet without exerting themselves in training in the belief that everything would be effective without them. And this is completely false. Having a training plan will get you closer to your goals when trying to get fit.

Here are the best exercise routines you could implement to help reduce weight:

• Weightlifting. This has been shown to be faster than cardiovascular exercise. It involves the use of weight machines or objects such as heavy weights and helps build muscle while burning body calories. Weight machines help build endurance and are used to build muscle, but are not suitable for toning.

• Free weight training. It involves the use of small weights carried by one or two hands. It focuses on the part of the body of the chest, legs, stomach and arms. Provides resistance to the body.

• Elastic Resistance Exercise. This involves the use of elastic bands to stretch and build a muscle. It helps to tone the body the way you want. For best results, use bands with a resistance of 300 pounds.

• Cardio workout. This type of exercise is good for preventing heart disease and diabetes. It is better if you do 30 minutes every day and increase the intensity of the training until you sweat.

• Jogging and Walking. A person can lose 100 calories for every mile they walk while jogging or walking. Regular jogging and walking can speed up weight loss.

• Step aerobics. It greatly contributes to weight loss as it burns 800 calories in an hour.

• Cycling. Riding a bike can help burn 500 to 1,000 calories per hour. You can last longer doing this as it causes less joint pain.
