Whether you’re trying to fit into a new dress or suit, or you’re looking to make a dramatic lifestyle change, it’s time to begin working out. While all exercises are beneficial for your health and well being, many are designed to cut fat quickly – particularly cardio workouts. We’ve included just a few of the many cardio exercises that can help you lose weight fast.

Elliptical Machine
Whether you choose to purchase an elliptical machine for home use, or you prefer to use one at the gym, you will find it’s an effective weight loss method that puts minimal pressure on your hips and knees. While elliptical machines are not as effective as some of the other cardio machines, they are perfect for those who require low-impact exercises to achieve the same desired results.

At a moderate pace for an hour, you can burn between 400 and 600 calories. However, you can alter your workout by increasing the speed, resistance, and intensity.

Jump Rope

Jump rope is included in many different workout routines for both men and women, and for a very good reason. It’s a low-cost form of cardio exercise and offers a host of benefits. It takes up no room at home, you can do it almost anywhere, and there is the potential to burn as much as 1,000 calories in an hour. What’s more, you also benefit from better coordination and increased strength in your arms and shoulders while you burn fat at the same time.
