Best workout classes to lose weight?

[Ebabe25]

I've been off my workout routine because it's been freezing cold in NYC and my gym is on the upper west side. Now I am looking at there workout classes, I picked 3 classes since I like to keep my body relaxed and not be one of those intence workout people. (Boxersize,Zumba and Palitie Mat) I try to find classes that are cardio and help me lose weight I've been losing weight & gaining weight. I don't know if it's my diet and how many calories I should eat a day. I might be all over the place on this question. But if anyone has ideas I am open to it!

Know that like 80% of weight loss is due to diet/what you eat. So focus more on your nutrition and diet and you won't have to worry much about exercise. There are tons of clean-eating blogs and tricks if you just search it up on google!

Fitness wise, the best things for weight loss is:

1. HIIT training

2. Weightlifting

HIIT training doesn't have to be a specific class (it just means High Intensity Interval Training), and it can be used with anything. If you don't know what it is, it just means you like all-out sprint/work your absolute hardest for a minute or a few, and then you rest for a few minutes, then repeat. The point is just to keep your heartrate up, it burns TONS of calories. I'm a runner so I like to sprint half a mile, then slowly jog the other half, then repeat.

As for weightlifting, remember that muscle burns more calories than anything else. So the more muscle you have, the more calories you'll burn naturally without having to do much. Don't worry about bulking up, women don't have enough testoterone to build up too much muscle.

Just look for classes that get your heart pumping. I used to do zumba and sometimes I would just kinda mess around in the class and barely do the movements, and it didn't do anything for me. But other times I'd be jumping around, doing the full movement and everything, and it worked alright.

Search up on google weightloss info, look for like education blogs written by actual doctors/nutritionists, and look for "diet/workout myths" too, good luck!

Yoga or Tai Chi.

Tai chi would be the best. Your body will be extremely tense, but your heart rate will remain the same.

I sometimes do a modified Tai Chi workout when I go to the gym. For example, if I do a pull up, I would take my time doing it. Most people would and will explode a repetition when doing a pull up, but it takes me about 5 seconds of slow movement to do one repetition.

Weight loss is a result of calorie deficit, not exercise. Exercise only allows you to safely maintain that deficit while eating more food, at least in terms of weight loss. Use an online calculator to calculate your BMR and TDEE. You should be able to lose weight eating a number that's higher than BMR but lower than TDEE.
