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.
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.
Exercise #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.

Week one of Basic Marine Corp Training can be quite a shock upon arrival at Parris Island.
This article pertains mainly to preparing for Marine Corps basic training at Marine Boot Camp, but the lessons here can be applied to any of the armed forces. Too many recruits show up having done zero research into how to be a Marine or what they are about to endure when dealing with drill instructors.
The physical requirements for the Marines are more stringent than those for other branches and the amount of materials covered is overwhelming mentally. This article series attempts to help you prepare for your 12 weeks of intense training, beginning with the first week and your arrival at Parris Island.
What I suggest is using the time between signing up and the day you leave to train your butt off. If you have more than 12 weeks to train, that’s great. If not, at least you’ll have head start.
Week 1. Arrive at Parris Island (West of the Mississippi, you’ll go to the training center in San Diego but let’s use Parris Island for ease of discussion). For starters, you’ll show up at about 2AM that first night and will be greeted by screaming drill sergeants.
The DIs will force you to start listening to them while you are still sitting on the bus. They need to instill discipline and the foundation begins immediately. Everything they tell you to do has a reason: to turn you into Marines.
You on the other hand will be living in a blur. You must remember 2 things: 1. Go whenever or wherever an instructor tells you to without question. 2. Forget your name. Practice referring to yourself as “this recruit” and your friends and fellow Marines as “these recruits” for weeks before you show up and implement this technique the second you are first spoken to by an instructor.
Never, ever, refer to yourself as “I” or any other recruit by his name or mention “We. ” This alone will keep you from feeling the heat too much that first week. If you do nothing else, adhering to this rule hard and fast will keep the focus off of you and onto others who are caught unaware and/or otherwise “just don’t get it”.
In order to avoid the Physical Conditioning Platoon (PCP), you’ll have to perform some basic exercises to show a modicum of fitness. The PCP is where they send out of shape recruits to get in shape and it’s not at all the best way to start your Marine experience.
So therefore, at the very minimal you need to be able to do the following: 2 pull-ups, 44 crunches in 2 minutes and a 1. 5 mile run in 13. 5 minutes for guys. Females need to run 1. 5 miles in 15 minutes, perform a flex-arm hang of 12 seconds and do 44 crunches in 2 minutes. Get at it!
Start running 4 miles a day, everyday right now. Even if you suck at it, your heart feels like it might burst and you are essentially plodding along, you will be much more mentally prepared to go the 3 miles per day that the Marines will expect of you with less trouble, and finish far ahead of the back of the pack and again, keep most of the heat off of you.
Even if you workout, lift weights and can rip telephone books in half, you will not be prepared for the amount of pushups you’ll be required to do. Here’s a good rule of thumb: be able to 125 straight pushups and build up to 1000 a day. Even if you have to forgo some gym time, do it.
Benching 300lbs, squatting 500lbs and curling 150lbs simply won’t help you when you’re face down in the mud with a DI screaming at you to quit and drop out because you’re struggling with getting to the 500th pushup of the day.
To recap Days 1-7:
1. Listen and be prepared to do nonsensical things without questioning them.
2. Give zero advice at this stage to other recruits. Just follow DI orders unless you are specifically asked to offer your own and then make it short. On occasion, offer encouragement to those who “get it” but may be physically hurting. Never try to verbally prod a slacker although physically helping up a teammate at your own expense can sometimes endear yourself to the team. It may or may not endear yourself to the DIs but offering a helping hand at the right time is often better than stepping on a fallen Marine just so you can finish a run, for example.
3. Never, ever, ever, refer to yourself as anything other than “this recruit”. Ever, right from the minute your bus disembarks. Same goes for fellow trainees – they must be referred to “these recruits”. The DIs will be specific if they want you to refer to someone by name.
4. Get used to saying “yes sir” and always look everyone in the eye unless specifically asked not to.
5. Be able to run 4 miles in under 40 minutes.
6. Be able to do 125-150 pushups non-stop, (resting in up position), and do 500 total per day for weeks before you go off to marine training.
This is a good start for anyone considering joining the Marines. Week 2 will be coming soon. These lessons will at least keep much of the heat off of you and onto those who the DIs would like to get some to either drop out or make serious gains.

Building a Muscular Chest without weights isn’t impossible. In fact, you really just need to be a little creative. Keep one thing in mind: to build muscle, you must always apply the overload principle. This means that your muscles should always be overloaded with some kind of resistance. You must practice a good diet that is rich in protein and supplements are a plus, but if you don’t have access or money for weights/gym membership then you might not be able to buy supplements too, but good alternatives are Skim Milk, Chicken, and generally high quality protein foods.
The workouts, just like a weight training workout, need to vary and constantly change to provide your chest with something new. Your bodyweight will have to be the biggest factor in your routine because most of the exercises will be using your bodyweight as resistance. Keep in mind that like a weight training workout, you also need to provide at least 2 days rest in between workouts. Workouts should last 1-2 hours and be very intense.
Begin by learning the pushups. If you need a tutorial, look on youtube for someone that knows what they’re talking about. Don’t stick your butt up to the sky, keep your elbows at a 90 degree angel, and make sure you touch your body to the floor. Yes, this does make it harder, but it’s better that you do this and complete less repetitions as it leads to more development in your chest. This brings us to another topic.
Resistance. You may stay ‘fit’ by completing 192301293 pushups but you probably will not get stronger or build a muscular chest like many desire. You must find something around the house to place an even greater overload to your muscles. Grab a backpack, secure it tightly, and place anything in there to give it weight. Perform your pushups with lower reps and more and more weight on your back. Ocassionaly switch it up by doing more reps with less weight.
Add Variety! Many people experience plateau’s because they do the same thing, every workout, week after week. Perform about 3-5 different exercises each workout, each one consisting of anywhere between 2-5 sets. Tuck your elbows in by your side to not only work your triceps more, but to develop your inner pectorals. If you’re strong enough, doing handstand pushups, only angeled a little bit to use more of your upper pecs and less of your shoulders, are great to shock the upper part of your chest and make your chest bigger. You can do these as your first exercise for 3 sets, or your second exercise for 2 sets, etc. Just switch it up!
If you have a bench or even want to just use the floor, performing fly movements are great too. If you don’t have two objects of equal weight then you can perform one arm at a time. An example of a fly movement is laying down, preferably on an object like a bench so that you can bring your arms down past your body, and using an object like a full milk jug to bring down and press back up until your arms are straight up.
Using these methods can give something new to your chest and help you build mass and definition in no time!

1 – Choose the right exercises for your fitness level
Choosing the right exercises for your fitness level is key to losing weight. You simply can’t go to the gym and straight away pile on pounds of steel on the barbell or select the highest speed and resistance on the treadmill. You should take it slow so that your body can adapt easily and to avoid injury which would completely ruin your exercise schedule.
The main resistance exercises you should be focusing on are pullups, pushups, bench press, squats, dips and lunges. These exercises involve all your major muscle groups and thus will allow you to build more muscle and burn more fat than if you tried resistance exercises that focuses on single muscle groups.
With respect to cardio you should set the resistance level and speed level to the lowest setting, overtime you may increase the speed and resistance.
2 – Your workout should be intense enough
When you workout you need to make sure that the intensity of the exercise is high enough. With high intensity exercises I DO NOT mean exercise through pain, I simply mean high intensity exercises to the point of moderate discomfort.
High intensity exercises will allow you to lose weight a lot quicker than if you did low intensity exercises. High intensity exercises will also build you more muscle which will allow you to prevent injuries from intense activities and also to allow you to move more freely and be able to lift and carry heavy objects with ease. As a rule of thumb “High intensity = Quicker results. ”
3 – Your workout should progress over time
As time flies by when you workout you need to take your exercises to the next level by either increasing the resistance of the exercise or by increasing the number of repetitions of that exercise. If you don’t progress by increasing either the resistance or the number of repetitions your body will not allow you to lose weight since it doesn’t have any reason to change. You need to force your body to lose weight.
For example, pushups. Once you could do 1 set of 12 pushups you can make the exercise more difficult by placing your legs on a higher surface such as a chair or a set of stairs or you could increase the number of repetitions of pushups from 12 to 13 or more.
4 – Decrease rest times
By decreasing the time you rest between the sets of your exercise you are allowing your body to adapt to the decreased rest times. For example, If you usually take a 1 minute break between each set then reduce that to 45 seconds. This will force your body to work more efficiently.
