High Intensity Interval Training
If you are already in good physical condition and just want to lose some extra weight, the high intensity interval training workout is something to look into right away. The basis of this type of exercise consists of intervals of rapidly paced sprints for a certain amount of time interspersed with walking or jogging at a slow pace. Utilizing the HIIT exercise program burns more calories than just a regularly paced cardio workout as the body will still be eliminating calories long after you have stopped exercising. A strength training exercise program in conjunction with high intensity interval training go together hand in hand.

Beginner Strength Training Exercises
Another type of calorie burning and strength gaining exercise is that of resistance training. It is common for many individuals to direct their energies to weightlifting exercises but it is also acceptable to begin with an exercise program based on body weight. Whichever exercise program you choose, begin at a slow pace until you have learned the correct way to practice the strength training exercise designed for you.

To begin, it's a good idea to do 3 sets of 4-6 repetitions. You should only be using a small amount of weight for the beginning set as this is a warm up. It may help you to picture this small amount of weight as being a lot heavier than it is. This prepares your muscles for the upcoming workout. For the remaining two sets of four to six repetitions, you should be lifting more heavy weights. Your primary intent should be to practice your form. By practicing correct form, you will increase muscle development and avoid getting hurt. Try to take a break of at least a couple of minutes between each sets which will increase your success rate. You want to accustom your muscles to the feeling of success rather than failure. By practicing the 4-6 repetitions using this formula you will increase muscle strength and tone.

There are many different exercises that can be included in a strength based exercise plan. It's a good idea to include exercises that use various muscles. Begin slowly and gradually increase the weight. There are several different methods you can use to vary your exercise routine. You could do a complete body workout routine one day, your legs and abs on another day, and your arms on yet another day. Always give yourself one complete 24 hour period of rest before focusing on that same muscle again. To increase circulation, make sure you warm up your muscles at the beginning of your exercise routine.

It is not necessary for a beginner workout routines to be so hard to follow. Always begin by adding calorie burning cardiovascular exercises in conjunction with helpful strength training exercises. You should see yourself losing weight by exercising at least three to four hours weekly. After you have advanced, you may want to consider a more strenuous routine based on weightlifting or body weight.
