New Delhi: For many people, losing those extra pounds means spending hours in the gym each day, giving up your favourite foods resulting in being hungry all the time. One thing you need to understand is that it’s about applying the right strategies when it comes to shedding a few kilos. Losing weight doesn’t have to be that torturous or complicated. When things don’t work out as expected, chances are high you’ll end up giving in to temptation and falling off the wagon either.
The fact is that those fad ‘crash’ diets that promise a slimmer body in no time aren’t realistic and don’t work. If you want to lose weight and keep it off forever, you need to make healthier lifestyle choices, and of course, a little bit of hard work and dedication, but it all boils down to simple choices. A lifestyle that includes healthy food habits and regular fitness routine will help you stay fit and healthy in long run.
Fortunately, there are many tricks that can kick-start your fat-burn efforts in very less time and lose weight fast. Leg exercises should be a part of your weight loss plan. Energising the muscles in your legs and butts with the right workouts will not only tone your legs and tighten your butt but will also help you lose weight fast. This happens because these muscles are the biggest group of muscles in your body. Simple leg exercises such as squats, lunges, deadlifts burn a lot of calories during and after calories. These exercises also release chemicals in your brain that suppress fat growth but help you gain muscle all over your body.

Squats
Whether you want to lose weight or gain strength, squats are a great exercise to shed a few pounds in a month. The good part about this workout is that it can be done with or without weights and work even more muscles than a leg press machine. Obviously, squats target your leg muscles (including your quadriceps, hamstrings, and calves), but it can actually help you lose fat in other regions, including the belly.
Lunges

Like squats, lunges can also be performed with or without weights. Body weight exercises like lunges, squats, planks, leg extension help to gain lean muscle mass – remember, when you increase your muscle mass, you boost your fat-fighting metabolism. To burn fat as well as tone and tighten your lower body, you must include lunges into your strength-training routine.
Deadlifts
Believe it or not, but deadlifts are excellent for women, especially when trying to lose weight. Including heavy deadlifts a couple times of the week in your fitness routine will increase your lean muscle, which in turn, help boost your metabolic rate. This makes your body more efficient at burning calories. Many think that performing this workout will make their arms bulky. On the contrary, deadlifts actually give your arms a toned look. Deadlifts are a great workout that works around different muscle areas in the body, including the middle. So, if you’re trying to drop a few pounds fast, you’ll want to include leg exercises in your weight loss programme.
