The 10 best workouts for weight loss

You can’t sweat off a bad diet—but with these routines, you can try.

WHEN YOU’RE LOOKING to drop pounds, the basic formula is pretty simple: eat less and move more. But there are obviously ways you can optimize this formula.

When it comes to moving, “two types of workouts will burn more calories than the ‘traditional’ workout,” says Franklin Antoian, personal trainer and founder of iBodyFit.com. “Endurance-type workouts—think a marathoner or long-distance swimmer—burn a lot of calories, simply because it takes a lot of energy to work out for 2 hours or so.” The other type is a little easier on your schedule: short, high-intensity bouts, which burn calories both during and after, thanks to that metabolism-boosting effect known as the “afterburn.”

These 10 workouts—from Antoian and coach Lisa Reed, M.S., C.S.C.S., owner of Lisa Reed Fitness in the Washington, D.C. area—get your calorie burn up and your waist size down. Plus, they don’t require two hours—except for maybe the last one!

Before your session of choice, Reed recommends a simple dynamic warmup to get your muscles ready and help prevent injury.

Lose 30 Pounds in 3 Months

Making a big change doesn’t take as long as you might think

Three months before my wedding, I had a realization: I don’t want to be a fat groom. After all, a cummerbund can only help so much. And besides, what kind of man would marry a beautiful woman knowing he’s going to die young?

That’s not hyperbole. My 5’9” frame tipped the scales at 231 pounds, easily qualifying me as obese—a designation that advanced my biological age of 26 by 2 decades, according to a UCLA study.

More disturbing, a blood test showed that I was on the verge of diabetes, despite having no obvious symptoms (other than a bulging belly). For the first time, being fat felt irresponsible.

But dramatic change doesn’t take as long as you might think. In 12 weeks, I lost 33 pounds and whittled 5 inches off my waist—just in time for our big day. And, even better, my latest blood work came back nearly normal. How’d I do it? Keep reading.

Cruciferous veggies are one of the healthiest vegetables you can eat, but unfortunately they’re also the ones most likely to cause your tummy to inflate.
