That exercise is an effective way to burn calories is no longer a secret. For some, this fact is a nice side effect to their beloved hobby, for others the main reason to motivate themselves to a training at all.
Workouts that have it all
Not every sport burns calories equally effectively. Nevertheless, there are some workouts that allow consumption to skyrocket, so that your weight loss success becomes child’s play.
1. Jogging
Strenuous running sessions or interval training are certainly not for everyone. But they definitely do one thing: melt calories.
In addition, jogging – whether fast or slow – is known for a great afterburning effect. This means that the body burns calories even after completing the training session in rest mode. It is best not to eat anything at least 30 minutes after training.
But how many calories can really be burned while jogging? At a slow pace of 7-9 km per hour, a person with a body weight of 70 kilograms burns about 490 to 560 calories. Not bad, right?
2. HIIT training
A high intensity interval training (short: HIIT) brings the advantage that you can burn as many calories as possible in a very short time.
The training sessions consist of several short intensive loads followed by short breaks. Due to the fast process and the very short breaks, the calorie consumption is boosted to a maximum.
In addition, the circulation is pushed and you get a good sweat.

Of course, the prerequisite for successful calorie burning is that the body has already become accustomed to the exercises and can perform them correctly and with full power.
