If you have tried and failed at fast weight loss, then now is a good time to re-evaluate. In order to lose weight quickly, most folks try crash diets or extensive workouts. But for some surprisingly odd reason, your fast weight loss planning did not workout for you. To help you get back on track for fast weight loss the healthy and right way, Arnav Sarkar- our fitness coach reveals the secret of fast weight loss exercises and diet.

There are two barriers that stall your fast weight loss program. We go wrong in terms of diet and exercise. Arnav Sarkar breaks down the faux pas of fast weight loss diet. “The first thing to do in order to lose weight rapidly is to stop eating foods that are making you fat in the first place!” says the strength and conditioning coach.

He continues, “You know, the sugary, salty, and refined goodies that you maybe enjoying a bit too regularly. And yes, eating moderate amounts is also important so that your body is forced to burn stored body fat for fuel. Once that is taken care of, you can move on to planning your training.”

Which brings us to fast weight loss exercises. Firstly, Arnav unveils the first big mistake we make to achieve fast weight loss: We believe spending hours in the gym will aid in fast weight loss, but the truth is, quality matters over time. Arnav says, “When it comes to training, you don’t need to do 20 exercises in each workout, and neither do you need to spend 45 minutes on the treadmill.” This sounds similar to what you want to believe.

Arnav goes on to explain this fast weight loss belief, “The best fat burning exercises require much lesser time, and give you a lot more results. In general the exercises that use the biggest muscles groups and work a lot of the muscles at the same time will be the most beneficial. For eg., a squat uses the muscles of your lower body, core and also the upper body to some degree. Due to that it will burn a lot more calories than what just training your abs with a crunch will.”

Arnav chalks out some of the fast weight loss exercises to get you in shape. He says “Besides the regular strength training exercises like lunges, push ups, rows, etc, some athletic activities like sprinting, burpees, kickboxing, jumps, etc too will help to burn a lot of fat. The only thing is that if you are very overweight and have severe joint issues then these dynamic exercises could be dangerous for you. In that case stick to the exercises with low joint impact like push ups, squats, overhead presses, rows, etc along with a good diet to see results.”

If you have spent hours on the treadmill to lose weight quickly, it’s time to take the highway to fast weight loss - and do it the right way. Good luck!
