Calorie burning exercise : the best sports to lose weight

Calorie burning exercise Sport helps losing weight.

However, some activities, more intensive, are burning more calories than others (more on calorie burning chart ). Less effort and more effects? Which exercise should you choose ? Explanations and advice.

Moving makes you lose weight anyway ...

Whatever the activity performed, sport contributes to obtain a nice figure for following reasons:

  • It mobilizes fat reserves. To make an effort, the body needs the energy available. In most cases, it is carbohydrates and fatty acids. Once the reserves of carbohydrates (primarily used) are exhausted, it attacks the fat reserves !

  • It increases the energy combustion, even at rest. For repair and maintenance, muscle mass uses a lot of energy even when not in action, unlike the fat that does not burn any calories.

  • It models the figure. Muscles are heavy, but take up little space.

  • It regulates the appetite. By occupying physically-and mentally-and promoting the secretion of hormones (which generates a well-being feeling), it is better to exercise to limit snacking.

  • It encourages a good overall balance. Through physical activity, your body is valued, you feel good about yourself, you feel well psychologically ... and that too will be obvious !
