Top 5 Known Exercises For Women To Lose Weight

I have here a compilation of the top 5 known exercise routines for women proven to work at keeping those excess pounds off. They are chosen for their appeal to women, ease of execution without requiring special equipment, balance and of course results. Read on and choose what is best for you!

Zumba Fitness

For me, exercising should not only work but be fun as well. If it also allows me to meet other women in the similar situation then it is an added bonus. Zumba fitness is all that. It combines steamy Latin dances with losing weight! Doing the salsa or cha-cha has never been more fun. Zumba is not just any ordinary dance, it mixes Latin-inspired dance fitness program with internationally known music creating an addictive “fitness-party”. You can either enrol in Zumba classes near you or get a copy of the DVDs and hold your own “fitness-party” with friends.

P90X

It is a full body fitness program involving various style exercises designed to “confuse the muscles” and avoid that dreaded “plateau” in weight loss. Combined with nutrition outlined in the program and one-hour daily workout for six days per week; it ensures excess fat loss in 90 days.

Tabata Method

Popularized in Japan, it alternates short intense anaerobic exercise with less intense recovery period. Its distinguishing feature is delivering results by doing short intense exercises for 20 minutes followed by rest of 10 minutes. Repeated 8 times, this only makes one complete session very short at 4 minutes.

Slim in 6

Designed for you to lose weight in 6 weeks, this program may sound too good to be true but indeed it works. It is a combination of high-volume aerobic exercises, light resistance training and balanced diet. It does not promise instant results but the outcomes are amazing if followed religiously.

Insanity Workout

As the name implies, this weight loss program is going to test your commitment to lose weight. Designed for 60 days, it is divided into 2 phases, each lasting 4 weeks. For the first phase, the intense workouts are between 35-40 minutes daily for 6 days a week. The fourth week will be recovery giving your body time to rest in preparation for the second phase intense workouts. This program has often included sports conditioning training as it establishes stamina and muscle strength.

All of these exercise programs can be done at home or with an instructor. For home workouts, DVDs outlining each five program are available at Amazon.com.

It is worth noting that except for Tabata method, the other four exercise routines already incorporate dietary guidelines. In choosing what is best, you might want to consider this.

As always, before starting any weight loss exercise, be sure to assess your needs first and of course your capability. If it is your first time to do any program for weight loss and have health issues, it is best to consult your doctor first or to train under a qualified instructor. Whatever your fitness needs is, whether it’s losing weight quickly or slowly but surely, there is always an exercise program that is best for you.
