What is the best exercise to lose weight? I get that question a lot, and the truth is, weight loss success stories for women do NOT depend on one solitary exercise or exercise routine. When it comes to working out, you want a quality program that focuses on the full body and provides you a good deal of variety.

To lose belly fat and thigh fat, you must reduce your caloric intake a bit (create a slight calorie deficit) and be regular and consistent with your workouts. Actually, you will lose fat by just getting sugar foods and calorie-bloated, starchy processed foods out of your diet...and starting a moderate workout program of dumbbell exercises, combined with walking purposely for 30 minutes each day.

I do not want you to think you have to sign up for "Intensity Bootcamps" or "Fat Burning Intensives" to lose weight. The first thing you must do is get your nutrition program clarified. This will be the most important step you take. Making changes in your lifelong eating habits will help with weight loss more than you can ever imagine. (This is why I recommend the best-selling Diet Solution Program, created by nutritionist , Isabel De Los Rios.)

Eating consciously, knowing exactly what you are putting in your mouth each time you eat...and how it will impact fat storage...is imperative for you reaching your fat loss goals. Exercise will accelerate fat loss by building lean muscle density to increase your metabolism naturally.

Best Exercise To Lose Weight

The two types of exercise you want to adhere to are those that utilize resistance (lifting weights) and cardio. Sadly, both types of exercise have moronic myths attached to them that actually hinder a woman from losing fat and attaining the lean body she yearns for.

Weight training for women: One of the best books you can purchase to help you write your weight loss success story is The New Rules Of Lifting For Women ("Lift like a man...Look like a Goddess") The great thing about this book is it puts to rest the notion that women will hideously "bulk up" if they workout with heavy weights. The truth is, women do NOT produce the necessary testosterone to look like a WWE heavyweight wrestler. It simply will not happen.

Training with weights will not only make a woman stronger, it will help her become more lean because the development of lean muscle mass burns far more calories than fat that hangs as a muffin top. Lean muscle mass increases metabolism naturally.

This book also shows you how ridiculous it is to think you can perform hundreds of repetitions with pink "Barbie weight" dumbbells and get the body you want. When you workout with weights, expect to get a little sweaty...a little out of breath...and a little red in the face. (You've heard me say this before about any kind of workout that is to be beneficial.)

When training with weights, you must focus on:

• Full-body workouts.
• Multi-joint lifts (Squats, deadlifts, rowing, military presses, etc.)
• Lifting brief, but intensely (not a lot of rest...not in the gym very long.)
• Lifting progressively (using heavier weights as you improve.)
• Mix regular sets with Super Sets (Two different exercises done back-to-back.)

You will come to understand why strength training with weights is one of the best exercises to lose weight.

Cardio for women

One of the biggest myths that stifles fat loss for women is that you need to do hours of "steady state" (slow paced) cardio to burn belly fat. This is completely wrong. Actually, more intense "interval training workouts" are much more effective.

Interval workouts (bursts of high energy followed by short segments of rest) are used by Olympic and professional athletes who depend on their bodies for their livelihood. Women who compete for a living do not have time to mess around by walking slowly on a treadmill while trying to figure out the playlist on their iPod. We can learn much from them.

A good resource to start with is the 15 Minute Total Body Workout (DVD + paperback) This will get you used to moving from one exercise to another before you are fully recovered. From there, you can start adding running intervals or interval training on the stationary bike at the gym once you are used to the concept and pace. It is best to start gradual.

Some myths of cardio you must be aware of. Do NOT fall for this nonsense:

• Steady state cardio is best for fat loss. (NO)
• If you do 30 minutes of cardio each day, you can eat whatever you want. (Good grief!)
• Wearing ankle weights will help you burn more calories (Not even close.)
• Do the same cardio workout each day to stay effective (No. Mix cardio training. Swim, bike, run, skate,etc.)
• If you only have 10-15 minutes, skip it that day. (Are you kidding? Intervals are the key here.)
• Don't eat before cardio. (When you do interval training, you must eat a small meal about an hour before.)
• Entertain yourself during cardio. (If you can read or sing songs, you are not working hard enough.)

Weight loss success stories are inspirational to read. You can easily create your own by finding new ways to live healthy and utilizing positive weight loss motivation.

I hope you now have a better idea of the best exercise to lose weight .

Its focus is on eating consciously, eating natural foods, and eating to enhance your personal Metabolism Type. The Diet Solution is safe, sensible, and effective. (It is NOT a diet!)
