"A fantastic, dynamic movement; though it is simple, a deadlift engages your whole body, including all major muscle groups: glutes, hamstrings, quads, and the entire chain of back muscles," said ACE-certified trainer, Christian Koshaba, owner of Three60Fit in Chicago. Since the deadlift is a full-body movement, Christian said "you're inducing a lot more of a hormonal reaction as well as blood pumping to those specific muscles, so you're actually inducing a more escalated heart rate, which leads to increased fat loss."
If you don't have access to a barbell, you can do deadlifts with dumbbells or holding a kettlebell. Whatever weight you use, focus on form first with light weights, then gradually increase the weight as you're ready.
