10 Exercises That Burn More Fat Than Running Does

Running burns 10 calories a minute, so it can easily be changed with other exercises which may burn even more calories. The following 10 exercises are as effective as running, and they will help you burn excess fat and keep your body in a perfect condition.

Bike Sprints

This is great for beginners, as well as for people who have not exercised regularly. Pedal the fastest you can for a minute, and then slow down for another minute or two. For best results, alternate between a cruising speed and a sprinting speed.

Burpees

10 burpees a minute help you to burn 14 calories. This exercise will help you burn fat and improve your metabolism.

Kettlebell Swing

This exercise takes only a few minutes, but it helps you burn 10 calories a minute. So you should incorporate it in your exercising regime.

Fat Tire Biking

You can burn around 1,500 calories per hour or 25 calories per minute, and you will avoid the strain imposed on the knees, but your effects will be doubled.

Cross-Fit Exercises

The typical cross-fit exercise involves numerous different exercises, and many of them can be quite intense. You can just pick three of the exercises and do them regularly.

Jumping Rope

You can burn up to 13 calories a minute if you manage to do up to 100 skips per minute. Moreover, this is a complete exercise.

Battling Ropes

A recent study found that the battle rope exercise is the best one for total oxygen consumption, compared to numerous other exercise types.

Jump Squats

Jump squats are one of the most effective exercises you can do, as they can provide amazing effects. On this way you will burn 14 calories in 20 seconds hard work.

Indoor Rowing

Intense indoor rowing can actually burn 375 calories per half an hour. This exercise will tone and tighten the muscles in the shoulders and arms.

Cross-Country Skiing
