Everyone knows one of the best ways to lose weight is through dieting and lifestyle changes.  Did you know there is another way to lose weight?  Yes! Simply put exercise can be a magic bullet.

Exercise does a couple things when we are trying to lose weight.  First, it helps burn more calories through continuous motion.  Those extra calories can add up and help you to drop a size or two.  Second, incorporating strength training in the mix, builds more lean muscle tissue, helping you burn more calories at rest. 

What is the best exercise(s) to burn the most calories?  This is a very good question, and there are many different answers. 

One thing to remember about exercise is intensity.  The higher the intensity, the more calories you burn even at rest.   If you are a beginner, any type of exercise will help burn extra calories.  When you move from a very sedentary lifestyle to an active lifestyle, your body is going to burn more calories just by adding extra activity to your day.

For people who are experienced exercisers, the intensity of the workout will determine the amount of calories you burn.  By increasing the intensity you will burn extra calories.  Doing quick, short bursts of activity with moderate intensity active rest time will keep your calorie-burning motor going during and after the workout.

The take-home message about strength training:  Always incorporate new exercises and vary the intensity of your workout.  This provides a new challenge, keeping your body engaged resulting in more calories burned.   Your body can get used to the same routine, so switch it up.  This keeps the body “confused” allowing for greater calorie expenditure.

So remember, if your goal is to lose weight fast and you have established a proper diet into your plan try adding more exercise.  You will see a big difference in your body.  The combination of both diet and exercise can be the best way to lose weight and keep it off.
