During your weight loss journey, shedding the extra kilos and toning the body should go hand in hand. This can be achieved by eating a healthy diet and doing workouts targeting your fat. So, if you are in the process of planning an exercise routine that will help you lose fat and build muscles, you can take inspiration from fitness influencer Bulbull Thakker's (@bulbull_thakker) recent video. Bulbul, who recently lost 4 kilos in a month, shared 5 workouts you can include in your routine to lose fat.
5 exercises to lose fat and build muscles
In a video captioned “The best exercise routine to lose fat,” Bulbull shared an exercise routine that can help you lose fat and build muscle. The workouts she mentioned in the clip are tempo squats, pulse lunges, hollow hold until you can, push-ups, and shoulder taps. She also showcased how to do each exercise in the clip.
- Tempo squats
To do the tempo squats, do the traditional squats exercise. As you begin, take a 3-second pause mid-way while going down. Then, take a 2-second pause at the bottom, followed by a 3-second pause while coming up and before standing straight. Repeat this exercise, and you will feel the burn.
- Pulse lunges
To do pulse lunges, do the traditional lunges. However, the variation is to go slow and pulse down twice at the bottom and then come up. This will increase your stability and strength, per Bulbull.

- Shoulder Taps
Last but not least, she also mentioned shoulder taps in the clip. Bulbull suggested doing the exercise with slow and controlled movements. “Make sure you are not moving from side to side and keep your core balanced,” she said.
In the end, the fitness influencer added that one should pair these resistance training workouts with a calorie deficit diet, high-protein meals, and a lot of water to see the best results.
