6 Weight Training Exercises For Fat Loss

Exercise #1

Stiff Leg Dumbbell Deadlifts

Instructions:

Step 1: Stand with your feet about shoulder width apart and hold a dumbbell in each hand. Keep your arms by your side and bend your knees slightly.

Step 2: Without moving your knees, lower the weight to bring them over your feet. You will have to bend at your hips and remember to keep your back straight. Go down until you feel a pull.

Step 3: Get back up to the initial position by pulling your hips forward. Keep the weights close to your body throughout the exercise. Repeat

Do 2 sets with 10 reps each. You can do the regular deadlifts as well. Both work equally well. You can also use barbells for this exercise. Your form, posture and speed are extremely important for this exercise. Compromising on any of those can lead to severe injuries. So be careful with this exercise.

Exercise #2

Squat and Curl

Instructions:

Step 1: Stand with your feet hip-width apart and hold a dumbbell in each hand. Your palms must face forward.

Step 2: Bend your knees and lower your body down by pushing your hips back. Go until your thighs are almost parallel to the floor. Simultaneously, engage your biceps and lift the dumbbells by bending your elbows and get them to your shoulders.

Step 3: Push through your feet and extend your arms as you get back to the initial position. Repeat.

Do 2 sets of 15 reps each.
