Try the 3-2-1 training method

Certified personal trainer Paul Warloski says his favorite weight-loss strategy he recommends to clients is the 3-2-1 approach: three days a week of heavy weight  lifting, two days a week of HIIT or Tabata to get your heart rate up, and one day a week of endurance training (like cycling, jogging, or walking)."This combination has been shown through research and personal experience to be really effective over the long haul to lose weight and keep weight off," he says, Whether or not you follow the 3-2-1 method to a T, the important thing to remember is to mix it up. Experts say the ideal exercise regimen will include a combination of both cardio and resistance training. Because even though some cardio workouts may burn more immediate calories than strength training, research indicates that resistance training causes your metabolism to kick into high gear for longer causing you to burn more calories in the long run.
