Can I lose weight by doing weight loss exercises

Doing weight loss exercises can generally help to lose weight, but it requires a combination of dietary control and long-term persistence to achieve the desired effect. Weight loss exercises mainly burn calories through aerobic exercise and improve basal metabolic rate through muscle training.

Weight loss exercises can effectively burn the stored fat in the body through continuous aerobic movements such as opening and closing jumps, high leg lifts, etc. When it lasts for more than 30 minutes each time, the body will first break down fat for energy supply. Long term persistence can reduce fat accumulation in the waist, abdomen, thighs, and other areas. At the same time, strength training such as squats and plank supports during movements can increase muscle mass, and muscle tissue will also burn more calories in a resting state. It is recommended to do 4-5 times a week, and maintain moderate intensity exercise with heart rate monitoring each time. If relying solely on weight loss exercises without controlling diet, it may be difficult to achieve significant weight loss effects. A high calorie diet can offset exercise expenditure. It is recommended to reduce daily intake of 300-500 calories and increase the proportion of high-quality protein and dietary fiber. Individuals with knee joint injuries or cardiovascular diseases should avoid jumping and instead engage in low impact activities such as swimming or cycling. Individuals with a large body weight base should proceed gradually to avoid sports injuries. Maintaining a regular schedule and sufficient sleep can help regulate leptin levels, and timely replenishment of water and electrolytes after exercise. It is recommended to regularly measure body fat percentage instead of simply focusing on weight changes. A 5% decrease in body fat can significantly improve metabolic health. If you experience discomfort such as dizziness or palpitations, stop exercising immediately and consult a professional fitness coach or doctor to adjust your plan if necessary.
