Weight Loss Exercise Program

The most effective weight loss exercise program is one that revolves around weight training 3-4x/week.  The majority of my clients have amazing results doing 3x/week for an hour.  The workouts should be full body with an emphasis on multi-joint movements.  The rest breaks should be short to facilitate Growth Hormone release.  Growth Hormone is an extremely potent fat burner.  Interval training can also be done on off days to facilitate further weight loss.  Interval training is preferred due to it’s ability to release GH as well.  The big bonus with this is GH has potent anti aging properties.  Here is a sample workout for someone who wants to lose weight.

Exercise                                                     Rest Interval         Reps       Sets

A1. Squat                                                                60                          12              3

A2. Incline Dumbell Press                                  60                          15              3

B1. 1 Arm Dumbell Row                                      60                          15              3

B2. Back Extension                                               60                          15             3

C1. Step Up                                                             60                           20             3

C2. Calf Raise Standing                                       60                            20             3

D1. Incline Dumbell Curl                                      60                             15             3

D2. Flat Tricep Extension                                      60                             15             3

I would also add interval training 2-3x/week for 20-40 minutes.   This is doing something like sprinting, or biking with heavy tension for around 30-45 seconds then recovering for 1.5 min then repeat.  Of course depending on conditioning those variables can be manipulated.  For best results the proper weight loss diet should be followed.

It should be noted that weight loss for kids, follows a different diet and different program.
