Finding effective exercises for weight loss, especially for women can be very hard.  A woman’s body is designed differently then a mans, and those differences are what makes it harder for a women to lose weight.  So finding effective exercises for weight loss should not only be looked at for weight lose, but also looked at for creating a healthy and safe fitness routine.

 

 [Creating the famine physic that you want, takes time and dedication, not to mention the right exercises and healthy eating.]

Exercises aren’t the only thing that you have to take into account when you want to lose weight.  Eating a healthy and balanced diet is just as important as the actual exercise!

The most effective exercises for weight lose will contain two parts.  A cardio aspect and a toning aspect, by combining these two aspects you will see results much faster.

So, let’s reveal The Top 13 Exercises For Weight Loss For Women:

1. Step Aerobics

Step aerobics is probably one of the most common aerobic workouts that a woman can do.  A large majority of workout programs and exercises incorporate a form of aerobics, so why not go right to the basics,  step aerobics.  Aerobics mainly targets a woman’s legs, hips, thighs and bum area.  Which are the area’s that women hold the most weight around and are the areas that they want to be toned.

Step aerobics can also incorporate weights into the routine, this allows you to work harder, burn more fat and tone up faster.  An excellent way to multitask while you are working out.

A good aerobic workout can burn up to 800 calories in a hour.  So go to your gym, fitness or rec center and check out what Step Aerobic classes they have.

Amazon has an amazing selection of step aerobics that can be done at home.  Click here for there step aerobics listings.

2. Bicycling

A great outdoor exercise, and a very versatile one at that.  Depending on the type of bike and bicycling that you want to do, you can really burn off those calories.  Depending on how fast and hard you are cycling, you can burn anywhere form 500 to 1000 calories an hour.

The nice thing is that you can even buy an indoor bike and ride while you are watching TV.

3. Swimming

Swimming is a very relaxing exercise, and can also be very refreshing in the summer months, or all year round, depending were you live.  It works practically every muscles in the body (if you do a variety of strokes).

5. Elliptical Machine

The elliptical machine is most commonly seen in larger gyms.  This brilliant cardio machine, not only helps to build strong muscles but tones them at the same time.

The newer models allow you to watch TV, plug in your iPod or iPhone, so that you can listen to music or watch TV.  This entertainment will make your cardio workouts fly by.  So when watching that one hour of TV, you can burn up 600 calories.

6. Rowing

Rowing is a brilliant way to tone your arms, and is also a lot of fun. Get involved with the local rowing club and you’ll get to try it for free, or simply use the rowing machine at the gym. As well as building arm muscle, you’ll also burn calories and get an incredible workout.

7. Walking

Walking is the basics of all exercises and the easiest.  A brisk walking is a great cardio workout and will also help to tone legs, stomach and hips. Sprinting, walking across hills or walking uphill will add to the amount of calories burnt, and walking tends to be very easy to fit into daily life.

Just walking to work in the morning will make you much fitter, as long as you don’t live to fare way.

Dancing targets your whole body and is probably one of the funnest exercises on this list.  There are so many different styles to choose from, so you won’t have a problem finding a dance that is right for you.

You can learn to dance at a local studio or buy DVD’s from Amazon that will teach you, right at home. Click Here to check out Amazon`s Dancing library.

Dancing has been found to be a great stress reliever, not to mention that it can burn between 600 -800 calories an hour.

9. Jogging

Jogging is almost a perfect year round exercise.  You get to spend time outside, breath in the fresh air, absorb the suns warm rays (vitamin d) (be careful though, to much can be dangerous) and spend time with others.

A good paced jog can burn up to 550 calories an hour.

10. Zumba

Zumba has popped onto the fitness and gained hug momentum.  It mixes aerobics, with some crazy dancing, with good music and some hand eye coordination. It is a very well rounded program and should not be given up on, because you may look funny.  Why not bring a friend or two with you.  You may have some good laughs after, besides you can burn up to 500 calories in just one hour.

11. Kickboxing

This isn’t only a great weight lose exercise, but also a great way to meet new people, and literally take a self defense class.  I can guarantee you that after just one session you will be exhausted but will have burnt 600 calories.  It is well worth a little pain!

12. Hiking

Hiking, the kind were you are going up and down hills, heaving at least 2 – 3 liters of water with you, is what we are talking about.  This is a great exercise because you not only burn 350 calories an hour, but get to spend time outside, breath in the fresh air, absorb the suns warm rays (vitamin d) (be careful though, to much can  be dangerous) and spend time with your hiking partner.

And finally…

13. WEIGHT TRAINING – IS ESSENTIAL EXERCISE FOR LOSING WEIGHT

While some of us don’t like to weight train, it is a good idea.  Weight training not only does good for our body, but has a positive impact on us mentally.  Not to mention that a good workout routine can burn up to 200 calories an hour, and keep us feeling young.
