Strength Moves for Weight Loss<\/strong><\/p>\n

Do this all-over strength workout 2\u20133 times per week, leaving at least a day’s rest in between.<\/p>\n

Each move is a “compound” exercise, meaning it targets multiple muscle groups, so you get a really big bang for your strength-training buck! Rest for 30\u201360 seconds after each set.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

Squat to Overhead Press<\/h2>\n

Works quadriceps, hamstrings, gluts, abs, shoulders
\nA. Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, elbows bent, a 5-pound weight in each hand at shoulder height, palms forward. Lower into a squat (don\u2019t let knees go past toes); hold for a moment.<\/p>\n

B. Push through heels to stand up, pressing weights overhead. Return to starting position. Do 3 sets of 15 reps.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Single-Leg Dumbbell Row<\/h2>\n

Works back, shoulders, biceps, abs, quadriceps, hamstrings, butt<\/p>\n

A. Stand holding a 5- to 10-pound weight in left hand. Hinge forward so back is flat and almost parallel to floor; rest right hand on a chair or low shelf for support. Extend left arm toward floor, palm facing in; lift straight left leg behind you, so body forms a T.<\/p>\n

B. Slowly bend left elbow and draw weight up until elbow is even with torso; hold for a moment, then lower weight. Do 15 reps, then switch sides and repeat. Do 3 sets.<\/p>\n
