All workouts are essential for you in terms of health benefits, but if you are looking to shed some pounds there are a few workouts that are more effective.
Here are some of the most effective exercises for weight loss:
HIIT
High Intensity Interval Training, or HIIT, refers to shorts bursts of intense exercise. Between bouts of intense exercise, you incorporate recovery periods. This is an effective workout with the added benefit of it only lasting 10-30 minutes, so you can do a HIIT workout just about anywhere, anytime and fit it into your weekly routine. For example, you could do a HIIT treadmill workout like this one from 30 Days Fitness Challenge, stair workouts, HIIT running circuit, and many more. The focus is to really hit that high intensity workout peak to make it an effective HIIT workout.

Some weight loss exercises can feel a bit repetitive, but incorporating kickboxing into your fitness regime is a fun way to mix it up and engage other parts of your body.

You can add it to your warm-up, jump rope between other exercises, and set a goal of jumping rope 15 minutes straight to get major benefits.

It consists of high-intensity cycling and you burn significant calories during and after your workout. At a vigorous pace, for example, you can burn 500-715 calories/hour.

The Stairmaster is a combination of a aerobic and anaerobic exercise, and you can adjust your pace as you go throughout your workout. For an even greater weight loss boost using the Stairmaster, you can incorporate upper body exercises by using light dumbbells or doing free-handed arm exercises. Just remember to keep your abdominals fully engaged!
Swimming
Swimming is a fun way to get a workout in, especially if you live by the sea or some body of water. Otherwise, visit your local pool for some laps and you can burn hundreds of calories per half hour of swimming. Swimming is the most commonly recommended form of exercise for those with joint pain or injuries as well due to its low-impact form.
Ultimately the most important thing is that you give your best, push yourself and also enjoy your workout. Working out should make you feel good and should never be perceived as a punishment. So have some fun figuring out which workout style or styles are your favorite and get that movement in!
