Six exercises in most successful long-term weight-loss routines.

1. Walking. Daily, 30-60 minutes. The NEAT workhorse.
2. Squats. Full-body strength via biggest muscle group.
3. Deadlifts or Romanian deadlifts. Posterior chain.
4. Push-ups. Upper body bodyweight, scales infinitely.
5. Rows (barbell, dumbbell, or inverted). Back and posture.
6. Farmer's walks. Full-body, grip strength, core.

Walk daily + strength 3x/week hitting these five = the minimum viable exercise for sustained weight loss.
