More Calorie Burning Activities to Try for Successful Weight Loss Results
Sep 26th
Just running may not burn that many calories, however running 8 miles per hour has shown to burn around nine hundred and eighty six calories. If you do not run this much now, slowly increase your pace and distance each day and work up to this goal. Listening to music or having a running partner may help to keep you motivated. If running is too boring for you, you could give rollerblading a try. It burns nine hundred and thirteen calories. You can borrow some from your kids or by a pair yourself and go as a family.
If you prefer classes and learning a new skill, you may want to try Tae Kwon Do. It burns seven hundred and thirty calories. Plus you can meet new people and have a new way to defend yourself if needed. If you just want to work up a good sweat to some good music, high impact aerobics burns five hundred and eleven calories. Finally, if exercising in the comfort of your own home is more for you, a stair treadmill burns six hundred and fifty-seven calories and jogging at five miles per hour burns five hundred and eighty four calories.
Now that you know which exercises and activities burn the most calories you can plan your workout better and this will help you in achieving your fitness and weight loss goals easier and you will actually be able to see results sooner too. Try a mix of these activities it will help you learn new skills, give you a better work out and help you stay motivated to lose the weight you want and in turn you will have better weight loss results.
48 Fun Exercise Ideas

A couple of 5th graders named Michelle and Casen recently asked me: What advice would you give us when we know we should exercise, but we just don’t feel up for it? My answer to them is what I’d tell anyone, child or adult: Don’t look at it as exercise — instead, play games and sports and have a ton of fun! The main thing is just to get outside every day and do something you think is fun. |
You can play games like freeze tag or ride a bike or do running races with your friends or family. You can go on hikes with your family or go swimming or paddling. Do lots of different things, and again, focus on having fun, and doing it often.
Michelle and Casen’s class, which has created the excellent Kids Read and Ride program, took this advice to heart and came up with 48 Fun Ways to Exercise. This is a good list for anyone:
- Aerobics
- Ballet
- Baseball
- Basketball
- Biking
- Boating
- Bowling
- Boxing
- Canoeing
- Dance Revolution
- Dancing
- Double Dutch
- Field Hockey
- Football
- Frisbee
- Golf
- Gymnastics
- Hiking
- Hockey
- Hopscotch
- Horseback Riding
- Hula hooping
- Ice Skating
- Jogging
- Juggling
- Jump rope
- Laser tag
- Paintball
- Ping-Pong
- Playing catch
- Rock Climbing
- Roller Blading
- Roller Skating
- Running
- Skateboarding
- Skiing
- Soccer
- Softball
- Swimming
- Tae Kwon Do
- Tennis
- Trampoline
- Treadmill
- Unicycling
- Volleyball
- Walking
- Weightlifting
- Wii sports games
My recommendation is to choose one of these activities, most days of the week (4-5 days perhaps). If you go out, have fun, enjoy the activity, it won’t feel like “exercise” … but you’ll be getting fit and healthy in the meantime.
Make the workout the reward.
