For people with increased age, losing weight becomes more difficult. This can happen for a variety of reasons, for instance, increasing stress levels to a slowing metabolism and inevitable loss of muscle due to advanced age. Although losing weight is extremely challenging, healthy eating habits crucially remain a driving factor to achieve determined goals. Moreover, if diet modification is collectively combined with regular exercise, at least 50 minutes/week, a better health could be additionally obtained.

Studies show that the best way to lose weight and burn fat is to choose exercise routines that incorporate many muscle groups and will spike your heart rate. My home HIIT workouts are super effective for doing exactly that. They burn fat and tone your entire body, and the best part is that you don’t need any exercise equipment at all.

Slow movements and deep breathing increase blood flow and warm up muscles, while holding a pose can build strength. Try it: Tree Pose Balance on one foot, while holding the other foot to your calf or above the knee (but never on the knee) at a right angle. Try to focus on one spot in front of you, while you balance for one minute.

Jogging and running are great exercises to help you lose weight. Although they seem similar, the key difference is that a jogging pace is generally between 4–6 mph (6.4–9.7 km/h), while a running pace is faster than 6 mph (9.7 km/h). Harvard Health estimates that a 155-pound (70-kg) person burns approximately 288 calories per 30 minutes of jogging at a 5 mph (8 km/h) pace or 360 calories per 30 minutes of running at a 6 mph (9.7-km/h) pace (5).
