10 Exercises for Weight Loss

4. Bent Over Rows

Bent over rows should be considered by anyone looking to lose a few pounds. This is a highly versatile exercise and suits nearly everyone. You can even perform it with water jugs if you don't own other weight equipment. Bent over rows target the back muscles mainly, but they're also great for the biceps. To perform a bent over row, start by holding a weight in each hand. Then, with the knees slightly bent, position your body so that the upper body is almost parallel to the floor. Ensure that the core muscles stay tight, and slowly row the weights up to the chest. Repeat as necessary.
