The biggest myth in the fitness industry has to be that
running burns the maximum calories. Well, it does burn a lot of
calories, but certainly not the most. Working out at a high intensity
for small intervals of time burns the most calories in reality. In
short, high intensity interval training burns the maximum number of
calories. Here are 5 exercises, which when done at a high intensity, can
burn more fat than running.
If there’s one body weight exercise that can kick your ass, it has to
be burpees. A single burpee can burn up to 1.43 calories, so if you get
10 per minute, you’re burning 14.3 calories per set. Burpees are also
known for
improving metabolism.
The most underrated workout in Indian gyms, Kettlebell swings puts to
work your abdominal muscles, shoulder muscles and back muscles. When
done at a high intensity, you can burn up to 20 calories per minute.
The good old skipping the rope can have your heart rate skyrocketing
and burn as many as 12 calories per 100-120 jumps per minute.
A rowing workout can burn up to 400 calories in 30 minutes and most
importantly, work out the large muscle groups in the back, chest,
shoulder and the abdominal area.
Another high intensity workout, battle ropes will help you shed fat
from your triceps and forearm. Since it’s a high intensity workout, you
can burn 10-12 calories per minute.
