5 Exercises That Will Help You Lose Weight!


Today I am going to share with you 5 essential exercises that you can help you lose weight without leaving the comforts of your home. These exercises are basic and almost everyone can mechanically perform them. All you need is dedication and a little bit of your time. It can be 5-10 minutes. You can do it anytime of the day: morning, afternoon, evening. But, I will recommend you perform these exercises when you wake up in the morning. Your stomach is empty and you can easily burn fat. Please find the exercises below:
  1. Sit Ups
Sit ups is one of the easiest exercises that you can burn fat with. Tt doesn’t only work on  your abdominal area, but also it also your hips, chest, and glutes. You can literally do this exercise anywhere and without using any special equipments.


How to do sit ups:
  • Lie down on your back with your knees bent
  • Place your hands crossed on your chest
  • Contract your abs and then lift up your body until you reach your knees, do this as you exhale.
  • Never rest on the ground while you are doing reps.
  • Your head should be relaxed and looking straight.
  • Move back to your starting position
  • Repeat.




  1. Lying Leg Raises
The great thing about this exercise is it’s a compound exercise. It doesn’t target a specific muscle, but a set of muscles. These are: legs, glutes, hamstrings, abs, and even arms!


How to do Leg Raise:
  • You have to lie down on the ground
  • Put both your legs as close as you can
  • Lift them up and move them towards your belly
  • Now return to your original position
  • Continue this until you get tired and you finish your set







  1. Pushup
This exercise is one of the best home exercises to lose weight. Push-up works on your chest, triceps, and shoulders. It’s a great thing to burn fat in three areas doing one exercise. There are many versions of pushups. If you are a complete beginner just do the knee pushup but I will recommend to you to do the traditional pushup.
  1. Jump Squats!               
       
Jump squat is one of  the most effective exercises out there. It works on your whole body and its a great cardio workout, too. It manages to tone your quads and your thighs.
How to do Jump Squats:
  • Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart.
  • Start by doing a regular squat,
  • Keep your core and jump up explosively.
  • When you land down, you need to bend down
  • Do this until you finish you reps




  1. Jump Rope
One of my favorite exercises to this day is jump rope. It is such an effective exercise because it targets every muscle in the body. Jump rope is cheap and can easily fit in your gym bag, school bag or even your pockets. Jump rope becomes more fun when you challenge your friends and colleagues whom you workout with.
How to do jump rope:

  • If you are really new to jump rope, I will really recommend you start by watching a clip of jump rope. All you’re doing is jumping while the rope passes your airborne feet.
  • If you passed that stage, just hold the rope in one hand and swing it so you can warm.
  • Jump 1 to 2 inches off the ground, do it as fast as you so the rope can slip it easily.
  • Close the shoulders and prevent them from rotating. The rotation comes from the wrists not the shoulders.
  • Aaaand you’re a jump rope expert!
