5 Sports Burn Fat without Burdening the Knee

 Burning excess fat in the body doesn't always have to be high impact exercise. Sports that seem 'relaxed' and do not overload the joints of the body can also be used to burn fat.

Healthline revealed that there are at least five types of low impact sports that can burn fat effectively. The following are the five types of exercise.

Swim

Swimming is a type of exercise that is the most 'friendly' to the joints of the body. Even so, swimming can burn quite a lot of calories.

Buoyancy from water helps reduce pressure on the body. On the other hand, swimming movements involve cardio training, strength and flexibility at the same time.

Free swimming movements even remain useful for training the muscles at the top and bottom of the body, especially the shoulders, triceps, pec and quadriceps and stomach. No wonder swimming has been named one of the best sports in the world.

Swimming for 30 minutes can burn quite a lot of calories. For people weighing 155 pounds for example, the number of calories burned by swimming 30 minutes is around 220 calories. As for people with a weight of 185 pounds, the number of calories burned is around 270 calories.

Cardio Kickboxing

Cardio kickboxing is a sport that combines boxing with cardio exercise. This exercise can be done without boxing samsak or any tools. Cardio kickboxing movements are carried out only in the air so they don't put too much pressure.

The amount of calories burned through cardio kickboxing is almost the same as swimming. Within 30 minutes, people weighing 155 pounds can burn 260 calories with cardio kickboxing, while people weighing 185 pounds can burn 310 calories.

Rowing

Another type of low impact exercise that is effective in burning fat is rowing. Rowing is a resistance sport without the burden of being friendly to joints. But this sport requires a rowing machine, so it is usually only done in the gym.

The number of calories that can be burned through rowing is also quite a lot. Within 30 minutes at medium speed, a person weighing 155 pounds can burn 260 calories while a person weighing 185 pounds can burn 310 calories.

TRX

This sport created by the Navy uses a rope that utilizes gravity and the user's weight to do cardio and strength training. The level of difficulty of this sport can be adjusted to the abilities of each body.

TRX sports are generally carried out in the gym. But this exercise can also be done at home if you have the equipment. Follow the instructor's directions so that the movements are done right.

For people weighing 155 pounds, the calories that can be burned by doing TRX for 30 minutes is around 300 calories, whereas in people with a weight of 185 pounds, the number of calories burned can reach 355 calories.

Circuit Training at Home

The combination of several low impact cardio movements can also be done at home to burn fat. At least there are three friendly joint movements that can be done at home. Each of these movements needs to be done for 30-45 seconds with a 1 minute pause at each change of motion.

The first movement is to walk and run in place. Try to stomp your feet gently when doing this movement. Do not walk and run quickly.

The second movement was the modified mountain climber movement. Do this movement by focusing on the strength of the stomach rather than doing it with fast foot movements.

The third movement is a low impact jumping jack. This movement is suitable for people who avoid movement with pressure on the knee.

Repeat these three movements three times. By doing these movements, a person weighing 155 pounds can burn 260 calories while a person weighing 185 pounds can burn 311 calories.

Continue with HIIT

When you feel ready, exercise can be improved with more intense types of exercise such as HIIT sports. HIIT sports or high intensity interval training is a cardio exercise that involves high intensity movements accompanied by pauses in each set. This exercise is more intense and can burn more calories.
