Fast Weight Loss Exercises To Get You Going

Perhaps you're overweight, or would just like to lose a few nagging pounds to fit into those old jeans. Those of you looking for fast weight loss exercises are in luck: Losing weight isn't complicated, but rather a matter of burning those extra calories that we all take in every day. To be more specific, it's necessary to burn 3,500 calories to melt a single pound of fat away. A normal, healthy person needs a minimum of 1,500 calories every day, to maintain their current weight (numbers will vary depending on body weight and how much exercise you get in an average day).

Running, walking and cycling are among the most fast weight loss exercises. Running and walking both burn a maximum of 500 calories per hour, with cycling or stationary biking burning a little less at approximately 450 calories per hour. People who have knee, back and/or any sort of joint pain may find walking or cycling a better alternative to running, as it's a fairly high-impact form of exercising.

Climbing stairs or using a stair-master are also fast weight loss exercises that also burn 500 calories, or more per hour. The only drawback with stairs are that you either have to have access to unused stairways (for safety), or go to a gym/own a stair-master in order to do them on a regular basis. A stair-master is much easier on your body if you're looking for low-impact, fast weight loss exercises.

Lastly, if you need a little external motivation for your weight loss routine; join an aerobics class. Aerobics can be done in either a high-impact, or low-impact way and most instructors have a lot of health, fitness and diet knowledge that can be helpful in achieving your goals. Safe weight loss is for most people, around 2 - 4 pounds on average per week, so don't put too much pressure on yourself.
