BEST EXERCISES FOR WEIGHT LOSS

With so much conflicting information floating around these days regarding weight loss and fitness it can be difficult to determine which type of exercise is most beneficial in achieving weight loss results.

Many people are now ditching hours on the cross trainer for much more effective workouts in the weights area. And rightly so, implementing weight training into your routine can help you shift any unwanted body fat and transform your body into a calorie burning machine, even whilst you're Netflix and chilling. Weight training is not only great for burning calories in the gym, but your body will also be burning calories up to 48 hours after you've finished your workout!

If these huge benefits don’t have you running to the squat rack then you may be interested to hear that weight training can help you to sculpt different areas of your body to achieve the shape you've always desired. In addition to having a significant impact of boosting your metabolism and body toning, weight training can also increase your strength and help you to feel more empowered!

The best way to incorporate weight training into your routine would be by performing large compound exercises that require more than one muscle group. By doing so your heart rate will remain elevated, and your body will receive the correct signals to hold onto your lean muscle tissue and burn an excessive amount of calories.

Some of the top calorie burning exercises include:

Weighted Squats Deadlifts
Lunges
Overhead presses
Bent Over rows
Chest Presses
Kettlebell exercises

Whilst weight training is one of the most effective ways to shift those extra pounds, we understand this style is not for everyone. In terms of cardio and bodyweight training these can also be beneficial for weight loss when they are done in a HIIT style format.

Examples such as:

Sprint intervals on the treadmill or bike consisting of 30 seconds on full effort with a rest period of 30 seconds in between. Repeat x 10

OR

Body weight HIIT circuit consisting of the following exercises for maximum calorie burn:

Burpees
Pull ups
Press ups
Jumping jacks
Mountain climbers
Tuck jumps

Spend 30 seconds on each exercise with 15 seconds rest between stations. Repeat circuit 3-6 times, with 1 min rest between sets.

It is common knowledge that exercise is essential for overall improved health. However, when you are attempting to lose weight it becomes an even more essential part of your routine. The correct nutrition also plays an even larger role in achieving those results.

The more muscle your body has the higher your BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate) which means you will naturally be torching more calories. Consuming a high protein shake/meal directly after your workout is super important for repairing and building your muscle tissue, don’t let those reps in the gym go to waste! Our Slender Blend was created to be a simple, delicious & clean weight loss shake that provides you with everything you need.

It is super effective as a meal replacement shake, but also as a post workout shake due to its high protein content which supports the maintenance of muscle mass. The Slender blend also includes our Thermogenic Blend ® combining Green Tea & Guarana extract for a metabolism boosting, fat burning effect.
