There are a lot of exercises that you can do at home by just using your own body weight. Out of those exercises, we have picked 4 best exercises to lose weight or toning which you can easily do without using any types of equipment or going to the gym. Also, we are providing a workout plan for beginners who want to start with the fitness game. All these exercises are meant for burning calories and toning your body. Here are the 4 Best weight loss Exercises

Jumping Jacks

One of the most known cardio/warm-up exercises! It is performed by standing straight then jumping to a position in which your legs are widespread and your hands straight up and then returning to your start position. Doing this for at least 20 times will increase your heart rate and eventually help you burn calories.

High Knees

When you think of high knees, soldiers come to your mind, that’s right it is meant to make your legs strong. High knees can be performed by standing straight and jogging at a fixed place where your knees move above or equal to your belly button. This exercise increases your heart rate and can also be done as a warm-up before attempting any heavy exercise.

Push-ups

Push-ups are one of the exercises that can be done in a number of ways with varying intensity. Push-ups target muscles like pectoral muscles, triceps, and anterior deltoids together. This exercise is performed by keeping your hands equal to chest then raising and lowering the body using the arms. For those who cannot do normal push-ups at the beginning can start with knee push-ups first.

Squats

Squats are a compound exercise that targets thighs, hips and buttocks, quadriceps femoris muscle, and hamstrings. Squats are similar to sitting on a chair but without a chair, it is performed by bending your knees and taking a dip downwards while keeping your body weight on your heels and your knees behind your toes. You can increase the intensity by squatting more which means close to the ground.

Workout plan for Beginners

Jumping jacks – 3 Sets, 30 Reps | High Knees – 2 Sets, 30 Sec | Squats – 3 Sets, 20 Reps | Push-ups – 3 Sets, 12 Reps | (Increase Sets or Reps every week) | So try these exercises on an alternate basis and increase your reps or sets weekly. Don’t forget to consume enough proteins for faster and better results. I also recommended the beginners to seek proper guidance from an experienced instructor before doing these exercises on your own, just to ensure correct posture and alignment.
