For anyone planning to lose weight, running is among the first workouts that come to mind. We can definitely say that this is an effective way to do it: for a 155 lb person, running at 5 mph for 30 minutes should burn something like 298 calories. However, some people are not quite into running. Maybe it’s because it wears on their knees and joints, maybe they just think it’s boring.
1. Jumping rope — 372
calories
This is not just a popular child’s game, this is a common
exercise among many athletes. Jumping ropes can be a great cardio exercise —
besides helping with coordination and timing. Since it can be done in more than
one way, anyone can come up with their own “tricks” to try this exercise.
2. Swimming (crawl) —
409 calories
Swimming is a great option for burning some calories and
preventing many diseases at the same time. It is an effective way to avoid
diabetes, stroke, and other forms of heart failure. Also, it helps to
strengthen muscles, but with the advantage of not putting any stress on knees or
hips.
3. Rock-climbing —
409 calories
Here’s a thrilling and fun way to burn some calories.
Rock-climbing exercises muscles from pretty much the whole body, and its
benefits can be felt even in your mental health, as it increases focus and
self-efficiency.
4. Bicycling — 614
calories
The calorie loss obtained by riding a bike, like running,
has much to do with the intensity of training. Adding some intermittent sprints
during the ride may also be effective. There is also no shortage of reasons to
ride a bike. Aside from being a good workout, with benefits for your muscles
and heart, it’s a convenient, eco-friendly way of transportation.
