Running and walking are still the most popular workouts for weight loss, but it can’t be said that they are ideal options. Yes, they can be good to start with, but walking won’t give you a quick and pronounced result, and running can damage your knees. So here are some alternatives.
This physical activity forces the body to move against resistance, which helps burn fat and build muscle. And they are metabolically more active than fat, which means muscle burns more calories at rest. The most “slimming” styles are the butterfly and the breaststroke, but the freestyle can burn up to 400 calories in 30 minutes.
Basketball combines jumping and strength training, making it a great full-body workout. In addition to helping you lose unwanted weight, this sport will also improve your mood, promote bone health, reduce stress, improve coordination and balance, and boost heart health. Burns about 300 calories in half an hour.
