Get the Most out of Exercises for Weight Loss by Understanding Proper Exercise Order
Most people understand that performing some type of exercise to aid weight loss is important but it is also important to understand how and when to use different exercises so as to achieve the greatest effect for weight loss. Exercise order refers to properly timing different exercises so as to maximize the results you are trying to achieve.
For example, you want to perform complex movements that involve large amounts of muscle like squats at the beginning of your workout while exercises like curls that target specific muscle groups should be done toward the end of your workout. If you do the opposite and say exercise your abdominals first with some crunches then your abs will already be fatigued and keep you from achieving the maximum results from an exercise like squatting that also involves your abdominal muscles.
In terms of weight loss it means you should concentrate more on exercises like squats or lunges that involve the larger muscle groups because they require the most energy to perform and stimulate a greater amount of muscle growth which both positively affect your daily metabolism. Also in terms of weight loss, it means you want to perform aerobic exercises AFTER your weight training in order to achieve the maximum fat burning effect(Read Weight Loss Tip Perform Aerobics After Weight Training for Maximum Fat Burning).
If you are going to make the effort to exercise to lose weight then understand how to do it the right way and you will have the greatest chance of achieving the weight loss results you desire.
