Exercise Tips for Men

Exercises Men Should Do Every Day for Weight Loss

Weight loss doesn't mean doing endless hours of cardio while depriving yourself of your favorite foods. In fact, research reveals that vigorous exercise beyond 40 to 60 minutes is "unnecessary." A far healthier (and much more sustainable) approach is eating a healthy, well-balanced diet paired with a consistent exercise routine that includes cardio and strength training.

With the abundance of online resources sending mixed signals, it can be tricky to determine which daily exercises are optimal for long-term weight loss. That's why Eat This, Not That chatted with TJ Mentus, CPT, a certified personal trainer at Garage Gym Reviews, who shared his expert knowledge on the matter, including his recommended daily exercises for men to lose weight.

Here's a breakdown of the exercises you can do to lose weight:

  • Burpees
  • Push-ups
  • Pull-ups
  • Lunges
  • Squats
  • Yoga
  • Stair climbers
  • Cycling
  • Rowing
  • Swimming
  • Walking

Ultimately, your weight isn't about a number on a scale; it's about your overall well-being and feeling comfortable in your own skin. Fortunately, Mentus designed these exercises to help you shed body fat, boost your endurance, increase your energy levels, and elevate your mood. These exercises can support weight loss by burning calories as you complete your workouts and promoting muscle growth to boost your metabolism.
