Regular exercise is worthwhile and necessary because it not only improves endurance and strength; it also burns calories and helps you lose weight. To lose weight you must expend more calories than you consume. There are nine top calorie-burning exercises that will help you burn up calories such as biking.

Calorie Burning

1. Cycling

Cycling is a great way to burn calories and is also a low-impact, calorie-burning exercise. Of course, if you pedal hard to go faster, you will expend more calories. If your bike at a moderate pace like 9.4 miles an hour, you can burn off about 400 calories an hour.

2. Running

Another top calorie-burning exercise is running. As many know, running is a popular and effective calorie-burning exercise. Keep in mind; unlike biking, running is a high-impact exercise. In addition, running is considered by many to be one of the best forms of exercise for losing or maintaining weight. It is indeed one of the top ways to burn off extra calories and is the second most effective exercise when it comes to burning off extra calories, followed only by cross country skiing. Running also is an effective way to prevent heart disease.

3. Jumping Rope

Jumping rope is another great calorie-burning exercise. Jumping rope also strengthens the muscles and bones of your lower legs. Jumping rope, however, is a high-impact activity, making it a necessity to wear the appropriate footwear.

4. Resistance Training

Resistance training does not burn as many calories as running or biking but it helps build muscles, which later increases your metabolism and burns more calories when you are at rest.

5. Swimming

Swimming is still another great exercise that expends a good amount of calories. Swimming is a low-impact exercise that puts minimal stress on a person’s bones and joints. When swimming, the calories that are burned depend on the kind of swimming stroke you use. In most cases, you can burn around 300 calories in 30 minutes.

6. Kickboxing

Kickboxing is another great exercise that burns a good amount of calories; however, it depends on how long you kickbox each day and how much you weigh. What makes this exercise so good is that it can be done in your home by purchasing a punching bag and purchasing a kickboxing video or use one at a gym.

7. Step Aerobics

Step Aerobics is another effective way to burn off calories. You can perform this exercise by using an aerobic step or by climbing up and downstairs in your home. In a half-hour, you can burn up between 200-300 calories or more, depending on the intensity of the workout.

8. Burpees

Burpees are another great calorie burner and are a full-body workout. By engaging in a Burpee workout, you can burn up to 10 calories a minute. By changing from a plank position, then jumping toward your chest and then jumping up and raising your arms in the air above your head and pointing to your toes, you can burn off a lot of calories but beware, Burpees are intense!

9. Walking

Walking is another great way to burn off calories. It is a low-impact exercise but if you walk briskly, you can burn off 350-400 calories an hour.

To conclude, there are several very effective exercises that burn off calories; however, to ensure that those burned off calories stay off, eat nutritious foods and be extra careful to eat in moderation, especially at dinner.
