How to Burn more calories and loose fat with home exercise
1.Squats
Squats are one of the best exercises for weight loss. When you do them correctly, you engage your core and entire lower body.
- Start with feet hip-width apart, arms either at your sides or holding weights. Keeping your weight in your heels, begin lowering your legs and raising your arms in front of you.
- Keeping your back straight, lower until your thighs are parallel to the floor. Remember to keep your knees in line with your toes the entire time.
- Maintain an even pace and rise back to a standing position. Repeat 3 sets of 15 reps.
