Weight Training
Yes, that beefed up gym trainer was not lying when he asked you to lift weights. Also called resistance training or strength training; could be a much effective way to ensure you lose weight even while sleeping.
Muscles are metabolically much more active than fat (now you know why fat is the storehouse of energy). Weight lifting helps you build muscles and they help burn energy round the clock.
So while your faithful cardio may be effective while doing the exercise, the muscles will help cover for days of lethargy.
Weight training could be one of the biggest factors to how Anant Ambani lost 108 kilos.
Takeaway:
Experts suggest at least 3 days of strength training that are interspersed with cardio workouts. So don’t shun the weights and embrace them for bulkier muscles (and some appreciating looks. Eventually!)
Yoga
Looking at weight loss in isolation can set the stage for a huge failure. The key word here is wellness. Yoga helps you relax and has immense benefits on the immune system.
It also helps in mindful eating and not impulsive eating, the kind which piles on the fat. We bet you will be surprised to read these 6 lesser known benefits of yoga on health and weight loss.
Functional training
Functional training, as the name says, refers to replicating exercises that are similar to everyday movements. This whole body workout helps in strengthening the core muscles, leg muscles, and upper body.
It is actually a combination of weight training and stretches. We are sure that functional training helped the Indian business magnate’s son.
Takeaway:
Many gyms offer functional training at a cost. However, you could also replicate it at home by being physically active.
Mop up the floor, rejig the pieces of furniture in your home, walk to the market and lift heavy grocery bags among other things.

So how is this workout different from the regular cardio?
Well instead of a bulk 15 minutes on the treadmill, the exercise gets broken up into intervals of 2 mins of walk and high-intensity sprint for 10 minutes.
Takeaway:
Well, we have a video for you about simple high intensity workout that attacks the flabby portions. Go ahead, challenge yourself.
