While all activities are good for your health, some have a better time-to-calorie ratio than others. With more than 500 kcal grilled per hour, these sports are a real boost if you want to lose weight.
Running (from 600 to 900 kcal/h)
Energy expenditure depends on the speed at which you run. But from 8 km/h, you burn at least 500 calories per hour. Even more, if we accelerate. And even if it seems impossible when you start, you progress quickly, which is very motivating. In joint fragility (knees, ankles), you must wear good shoes and favor soft ground (dirt roads) because running on concrete increases the impact. Finally, it is not the most recommended activity if you are very overweight: better is a cardio activity carried, such as a bicycle or elliptical.
Boxing or cardio-boxing (600 to 800 kcal/h)
Dodging, anticipating, hitting, moving… Thanks to boxing, we are always on the move, with rapid accelerations and moments of active recovery, where we hop on the spot. Those who do not want to fight can choose fitness classes based on boxing movements; they are offered in many gyms (BodyCombat, BoxingFit, cardio-boxing, etc.). And even discover its benefits in the water with aqua boxing or aqua punching.
