Weight training is usually underrated when it comes to choosing effective weight loss workouts because prior studies too often tout the benefits of aerobic exercises. Here are three exercises that can help you lose weight:

1. Farmer’s Walk

Heavy dumbbells or short bars can be used to workout forearms, abdominals, glutes, hamstrings, lower back, quadriceps, and traps. Start by standing between the weights and grip the handles. Lift by driving your heels into the floor, while keeping your back straight and head staring forward. Walk 50 to 100 feet as fast as possible with short steps and even breathing.

2. Kettlebell Stand-Up

Kettlebells engage the shoulders, abdominals, calves, hamstrings, quadriceps, and triceps in a standup workout, also known as the “Turkish get-up.” Lie on your back and hold the kettlebell straight up with one hand. Bend the knee on the same side as the kettlebell. Push up into a seated position using your free hand. Slowly stand up and reverse the motion.

3. Barbell Deadlift

Using a barbell, this workout will work your lower back, calves, forearms, flutes, hamstrings, lats, quadriceps, and traps. Stand in front of a barbell and keep your back as straight as possible. Bend knees, tilt torso forward, and overhand grip the bar with hands shoulder-length apart. As you breathe out, lean forward and lift the bar with your body into an upright position. Push out your chest and keep your back straight until you’re ready to bend your knees and drop back down slowly until the bar touches the floor.
