Have You Ever Done Elliptical Workouts?

Elliptical Workouts For Women to Burn Calories and Lose Weight Quickly

If you are a woman and have every wanted to lose weight quickly than chances are you have gotten on an elliptical at a gym. You also probably spent 30 or more minutes killing yourself trying to get that fat from the unwanted areas. However chances are you didn't see the results your wanted so you either gave up on the elliptical workouts or started doing longer and longer workouts.

Why Longer Elliptical Workouts Don't Burn Fat

The problem with being on an elliptical for long periods of time is that you are not really challenging your body and forcing it to burn excessive calories. To lose weight quickly you have to make you body want and need to use your fat reserve so that the pounds will come off. Working out on the elliptical trainer for more than 30 minutes does the complete opposite and allows your body to get use to the activity and is less effective at melting away your unwanted fat deposits.

Burn Calories and Lose Fat with This 20 Minute Elliptical Workout

In order to lose weight using an elliptical you are going to have to give more effort for a shorter period of time. What you are going to do is get on the elliptical trainer and let it know you mean business by doing interval training. High intensity interval training is going to allow you to be in and out of the gym in less than 30 minutes and still have you burning calories all day long. This allows you do spend less time but lose weight more effectively throughout the entire day.

Interval Training on The Elliptical

The next time you are in the gym go the elliptical trainer and do it to a level that gives you a nice warm-up. The warm up should last for only five minutes and then the next ten minutes will be high intensity intervals where you adjust the level and speed for short bursts of workout out followed by short periods of lower level workouts or rest.

High Interval Training Workout

Step 1. 5 minute warm-up at a moderate pace and level
Step 2. 1 minute on a lower level and slower pace to allow you to rest
Step 3. 1 minute on a high level and faster pace to get your heart rate up
Step 4. 30 seconds on a lower level and slower pace to allow you to rest

Repeat the cycle for 10 to 15 minutes and allow yourself a 5 minute cool down. If this is your first time doing interval training you will want to start with doing 30 seconds of high intensity followed by 1 minute of rest. Also you will not want to do this form of interval training more than 2-3 times per week as this is really stressful on the body and you will need time to recover.

Why Women Will Lose Weight Quickly

Women will lose weight quickly doing these elliptical workouts because interval training has been shown to be much more effective and regular steady state cardio exercises. Interval training will force your body to burn excessive fat as you carry on with your normal daily routine. With this workout at your disposal the weight will rapidly fall off.

Best Exercise to Lose Weight - 15 Degree Incline Walking

Now, walking isn't just walking. Overall, normal walking is fine for long term weight loss. But I'm sure you want to lose weight quickly. For that, you need to walk uphill.

I'm sure you've walked up a hill before. Isn't it a lot different than just walking on a flat surface?

It is.

So just make that adjustment. Obviously, if you don't have a hill you'll need to find a treadmill. Hopefully that isn't a problem for you. I prefer a treadmill just because I don't have to worry about cold or rainy weather.

Anyway, that's essentially it. Walking uphill. A 15 degree incline works best. It's steep enough to make a difference, but not so steep that it's unbelievably hard.

How long to walk? I suggest 20 minutes at least 5 days a week.

Now, if you were to tell me you're really busy and can't spare 100 minutes of your time then my question to you is... there's 168 hours in a week... you can't spare just 1.5 of those hours to devote to your health? That's not even 1% of your time.

You really need to change your priorities if you think that little of your own health. Remember, to enjoy all those other things in your life you need decent health. So without health, you have nothing.

Bonus Exercise - Vacuum Pose

If you have problems with belly fat, this is the best exercise you can do. Essentially, all you do is suck in your lower belly and hold for 5, 10, 20 seconds at a time. That's it.

How good does it work? You'll lose 1.5-2 inches from your belly in a month. That's just doing it for 5 minutes a day.

So back to incline walking. If you want to lose 10 pounds quickly, that's what you need to do. It's the best exercise to lose weight with.

Home Exercises to Lose Weight Quickly - 5 Tips

Workout Routines To Lose Weight :

Exercise is an important part of any weight loss regimen. But with busy schedules, we all want to know which exercises will help us lose the most weight quickly.

Home Exercises to Lose Weight Quickly - 5 Tips

Broadly, there are two types of exercises: aerobic and strength training (or anaerobic), and each one contributes differently to weight loss. Aerobic exercise burns fat calories while you are engaged in the exercise itself. On the other hand, strength training primarily contributes to weight loss by helping to increase the speed of your resting metabolic rate (RMR), which is the number of calories your body burns while you are at rest. Your RMR actually increases (i.e., burns more calories) the more muscular your body is because it takes much more energy to maintain muscles than it does to maintain fat.

Important note: remember that muscle weighs more than fat, so some strength training exercises will make you healthier and more attractive while not necessarily contributing to weight loss. But, muscles are a "good" kind of weight and you should aim to build more muscle in order to help keep body fat at bay.

Here are 5 tips for exercises - both aerobic and strength training - you can do at home to lose weight quickly.

Tip #1: Squats: Your buttocks and leg muscles are the largest muscles in your body. Every day in front of the mirror, put your feet at shoulder width while facing forward and squat down-and-up 10-20 times for 2 or 3 sets. This will build your leg and buttock muscles. As you build up strength, try holding 2 or 5 pound dumbbells in your hands while you work out. Be sure to warm up first, and stop if you notice any sharp pain in your knees.

Tip #2: Pushups: Pushups are a form of strength training: during a pushup your arms have to support up to 70% of your body weight. Do 2 or 3 sets of 20 pushups to build arm strength and increase your RMR.

Tip #3: Jumping jacks: Jumping jacks are an excellent whole-body aerobic workout you can do right at home. Do 4 or 5 sets of 20 jumping jacks, or as needed. Hint: if you live in an apartment or stay in a second-story bedroom, be considerate of your neighbors by going outside or doing these in a first story room.

Tip #4: Fast walking: While walking is in itself a great aerobic exercise, fast walking is even better for burning fat. Make sure you really stretch first and warm up with regular walking. Once you start your faster walking pace, try to maintain as much speed as possible for as long as you can. If you get tired, try doing intervals of fast walking followed by short periods of slower walking.

Tip #5: Stepping: Stepping is a great way to get your heart beating and to burn calories. You can use your stairs at home, but for best results I suggest buying specialized stackable step mats and stack them up to at least 15 inches (38 cm). Do 2 to 3 sets of 20 steps each to begin. Even though you may not feel like the stepping is helping, it is! This exercise will not only help you lose weight but will also help shape up your buttocks and legs.

An important element in a strategy to lose weight quickly at home is to do a combination of exercises that build muscles (strength training) while burning fat (aerobic exercises). Start a regimen of most or all of these exercises 2-3 days/week and watch the unhealthy fat melt away.
