Many people are in pursuit of the best type of workout to lose weight. Experts say that the best routine is any exercise that you will do consistently.

You do not need to buy trendy workout equipment or join expensive gyms as long as you choose and stick with a physical fitness routine that works for you. To see results, perform your preferred exercise at least 30 minutes per day, five days a week.

While any regular exercise is beneficial, you will see faster weight loss if you choose a high-intensity workout that elevates your heart rate for at least 15 to 20 minutes. In addition to cardiovascular workouts, such as cycling, walking, and climbing stairs, add weight training to your exercise routine to build muscle mass. Lifting weights at least two times per week builds a faster metabolism that helps you to burn fat even when you are resting.
