How to Lose Weight With a Workout Program

Weight gain takes place when you have a surplus of calories that your metabolism can't keep up with. To reverse this trend, you need to create a caloric deficiency. This can be done by cutting back on your calories, working out or doing a combination of both. A workout program for weight loss involves building muscle that is metabolically active and performing cardiovascular exercise that is efficient at burning calories. The weight-training exercises should involve as much body recruitment as possible.

Tips and Warnings

  • Working out on the ball and standing on one leg will force you to work more muscle fibers. When you do clean-and-presses, bend your knees slightly when you push the weights above your head.

Things You'll Need

  • Stability ball
  • Dumbbells
