According to the latest statistics by the Centers for Disease Control, the prevalence of obesity in the United States is over 42%. The United States has one of the highest percentages of people who are overweight. Each year millions of Americans go on diets and spend thousands of dollars trying to lose weight.
While dieting can help you shed weight, the most effective way to lose weight is through exercise and portion control. However, with the current pandemic, many people are finding it difficult to lose weight as they can’t go to the gym without risking their health. At the gym, there are various equipment and expert trainers that can help you do any exercise that will help you lose weight. But at home, things are a little bit different.
Here are some of the most effective exercises that you can do at home and lose weight:
Crunches
Crunches are one of the most popular exercises for people who work out at home. It is perfect for those who love to feel the burn and engage every part of their body while exercising. Crunches use your body weight to engage the muscles in your stomach and waist zone and are a great alternative for running and other forms of cardio. You also don’t need a lot of space for crunches, and you can do them lying down on a yoga mat in any part of the house. You can repeat the simple exercise as many times as you like depending on your body type and weight loss goals.
Squats
Most people think that squats should only be performed when you need to work on the lower part of your body or to get a nicely shaped bottom. However, squats also your body weight as an instrument to help you burn calories all over the body and work wonders for your abdomen. They also boost your metabolism and are easy to perform without requiring any equipment, which makes them the perfect choice for your at-home workouts.
Jumping Rope
Jumping rope is one of the most effective ways to lose weight. All you need is a ‘you guessed it!’ jumping rope! Not only does it burn calories faster than most forms of exercise, but jumping rope also has several amazing benefits such as improved coordination, improved bone density, better cardiovascular health, improved breathing, relaxes and engages all muscles in the body, and helps eliminate foot and ankle pain.
