Whether trying to shape up for a special occasion or improve fitness, weight loss is on the minds of many. As well as shaking up their diets, Britons will look to an exercise plan to help them slim down. Exercise can help slimmers tone up and boost their metabolism which means they will start to burn more fat. Targeting the whole body can get the best results and an expert shared her favourite full body workout plan with Express.co.uk.
If you are dreaming of washboard abs or toned pins, working the whole body will see the fat fall off.
By targetting the whole body, slimmers will prompt fat loss and start to tone up.
To target the whole body, a combination of five different moves will get results, personal trainer, Aimee Long, told Express.co.uk.
These are her top five full body moves.
Burpees
Aimee said: “I have a love hate relationship with burpees, great full body exercises, but absolutely savage. They are a great way to get the heart rate up and condition the body from head to toe.”
Medicine Ball Slams
“A great way to develop strength, co-ordination and speed. It also targets most of the main muscles groups from calves and glutes up to shoulders,” she said.
Lunge to overhead press
Aimee said: “Lunge to target the lower body and overhead press to challenge into upper body.”
Mountain Climbers
“Another fabulous exercise to really get that sweat on, increase the heart rate,” she explained.
Farmer’s walks
“This is a great exercise for beginners and you can easily progress by using heavier weights,” Aimee said.
Following an excercise plan can be a good way for slimmers to shape up and tone their body.
Exercise is important for anyone to include as part of a healthy lifestyle and it has a number of benefits.
The NHS website said: “To stay healthy, adults should try to be active every day and aim to achieve at least 150 minutes of physical activity over a week through a variety of activities.”
Combining an exercise plan with a healthy diet will help people lose weight more quickly.
A high protein diet will help slimmers feel fuller for longer and help burn fat fast, an expert explained.
