6 Best Exercises That Burn The Most Calories

Exercises that burn the most calories usually are the first thing that comes to mind whenever the topic of fast weight loss pops into a conversation. Well, can anyone really blame us for wanting to know how to burn calories fast? Guess not! Who’d like to beat around the bush when you can just jump straight to the point! And the point is this what are the best fat burning exercises.

Everyone wants the magic exercise for burning the most calories. They usually associate running with a good way to lose fat. Most people have success with running because it is convenient, minimal equipment is needed and it is easy to make a habit. However, I want to point the best exercises that burn more calories than running.                                                                                          
   
Rowing

Rowing is a compound movement that uses large muscles, which burn more calories. It is a great cardio workout and engages your lower and upper extremities at the same time. Try doing an “all out” pace ladder of 500-400-300-200-100 meters with a one minute rest.

Jumping rope

It is hard to believe we used to do this for fun when we were kids. Now it can be a great way to do cardio training and you can pack a jump rope in your bag for easy access. Jump ropes are cheap and can be used for intense workouts. Try doing 100 double-unders for time with standards jumps to catch your breath.

Sprinting 

Sprinting is a killer fat burning cardio exercise. Just look at the incredible muscular phsiques of world class Olympic sprinters versus the skinny and gaunt look of marathon runners. Sprinting is a truly explosive exercise that burns a lot of burning calories in a short amount of time and keep your metabolism humming all throughout the day.

Biking

Biking isolates your lower body, it still uses large muscles and creates a huge calorie deficit. When I’m outside, I love to do hill repeats to increase my heart rate. Make sure you have clips in your shoes so you can take advantage of the pulling to engage your posterior legs. If you want to engage your upper body, try an airdyne. You only need a minute on these if you truly go all out.

Aerobic

aerobic is definitely my favorite exercise for burning calories. It is a bit hard at first and you might feel embarrassed for not getting the moves right all the time but the feeling is gone in about a week and you start feeling much better. An average female can burn up to 680 calories per hour if she decided to take up aerobics and let’s not forget the other benefits such as cellulite-free thighs, firm sexy butt and abs to die for.
