Top Exercises to Lose Weight & Build Muscle Quickly

A mixture of cardiovascular exercise and weight training is the best way to burn fat quickly as well as build muscle at the same time. The following regiment consists of a 5-day workout schedule alternating cardiovascular training & weight training every other day. It is pertinent to implement an array of exercises so that your body is continuously challenged at varying degrees. Thus, I shall proceed to introduce several different exercises for each core muscle group under the weight training segment as well as different forms of cardiovascular training you can use.

*note: it is important to stretch 10 minutes before utilizing any of these exercises.

Cardiovascular Workout

When initially beginning your workout you want to build your body's endurance and get it comfortable to stressing its muscles. Therefore it is vital that you implement cardiovascular exercise before going into strength training with weights. There are many exercises one can utilize in their cardiovascular regiment. However, I will only introduce two types which I feel are the most effective.

1)Running
2)Jump roping

-Run

Our initial focus will be running which is a great way to start burning fat cells and lose weight. The goal of running is to accelerate your heart rate enough to a point where your body begins to rid itself of excess fat. The fastest and simplest method that generates good results is the execution of a mere 6-minute run. I understand that many people feel they need to run for a longer period of time to produce positive results but this technique contrasts that notion. It incorporates several running styles; jogging, sprinting, & a paced run all within short intervals. The ultimate purpose of the 6-minute run is to demonstrate better results in a shorter time span.
