As summer rolls around, it’s important to
consider all the many ways that you can get out and get active. Moving away from the confines of your gym is
a perfect idea to introduce more variety into your diet plan and ensure that
you stay on track to success.
As you do so, it’s also worthwhile to note
which activities are going to be burning the most calories as this is what will
guarantee that you move along with your fat loss goals the fastest.
Let’s have a look at the main ones that you
want to know about.
Beach
Volleyball
Calorie Burn: 572/hour
Beach volleyball is a very calorie
intensive activity and will be working each and every muscle in the lower body.
It’s also an excellent way to boost your agility and balance, so not one to
overlook.
Cycling
Calorie Burn: 300-500 depending on
intensity
Going out for a long bike ride one lazy
afternoon is a great way to get some sun and enjoy the summer. Your calorie burn is very much going to
depend upon how hard you are biking, but you’ll still be in the 300+ range for
an hour-long ride.
Rollerblading
Calorie Burn: 450-650/hour
For those who can’t run due to impact,
rollerblading makes for an excellent substitute. Rollerblading will help to target the glutes,
hamstrings, and quads and will also work your cardiovascular system as well.
To increase the intensity of this activity,
remember to stay as crouched down to the ground as possible. This will place more stress and strain on the
leg muscles, causing you to work harder and burn more calories total.
Soccer
Calorie Burn: 600/hour
A competitive game of soccer is the next
activity to consider during the warmer summer months. Soccer earns top marks for its calorie
burning as you’ll burn up to 600 per hour provided you stay active most of the
time.
With all the stop and go starts you’ll
experience during the game, you’ll also experience a higher metabolic rate
after the workout is finished as well.
This dramatically increases its overall fat burning potential.
Beach
Running
Calorie Burn: 500-800
The number of calories that you’ll burn
while beach running depend largely on just how fast you go, but one thing you
can assure yourself is that your lower body will be working. Beach running is the perfect way to really
target the calve muscles in particular as they’ll be working extra hard to
propel you through the soft sand.
Kayaking
Calorie Burn: 357
For something completely unique and
original this summer, consider kayaking.
Kayaking is a great water sport that will target your upper body, so is
a good method to give your lower body a break from the everyday cardio sessions
you’re doing.
Kayaking will require a high amount of
balance and control as well, calling your core into play as you perform each
stroke.
