Healthy Weight Loss Tips About Cardio Exercise

Healthy weight loss tips are useful to determine which healthy eating plans and exercise plans are the most effective.

If you have healthy diet plans for yourself, you probably want to incorporate cardio into your daily routine.  Do you prefer swimming, running, the elliptical, rowing, or spinning?  This list ranks these 5 popular exercises from the smallest to biggest calorie burning rate per minute:

  • Elliptical (9.8 cal/min)
  • Rowing vigorously (11.5 cal/min)
  • Swimming (13.6 cal/min)
  • Spinning (14.3 cal/min)
  • Running at a 7 minute mile pace (19 cal/min)

(The calories burned per minute are for a 180 lb. male, but the rankings apply to everyone.)

Running seems to be the choice method of burning the most calories.

If the treadmill isn't for you (or you like running but can't hold that pace), there is good news for you.

Kettlebell exercises.

Researchers at the University of Wisconsin found out that doing kettlebell snatches for 1 minute burns 20 calories.  Perform these as your main cardio routine and you will start seeing the quick weight loss that you work for.

Healthy weight loss tips like these keep you motivated and successful.
