7 Exercises to Burn More Calories

All exercises burn calories for they involve movements and energy is required for every movement made. The calorie burning ability of each exercise depends on the speed and/or force at which the exercise is performed. This proves the calorie burning potential of an exercise can be increased depending on an individual's motivation for that movement.

1. Aerboic Exercise
2. Anaerobic Exercise

Aerobic exercise burn percental more body fat which makes them so effectiv when we are trying to lose weight. But this positiv effect will only occur if you train regular and if you are really motivated. Because of the low intensity of aerobic exercises you will only burn calories during your training. That's why you have to train several days per week or over a longer period.

Aerobic exercises can be:

• Swimming

• Biking
• Rowing

On the contrary, anaerobic exercises burn more calories than aerobic ones. This is because you need more effort to perform them. While you are training anaerobic exercises your body uses carbohydrates as main energy source. This exercise type may not burn as much body fat as the other one but it will higher your metabolic rate. Even while your are resting after working out, your body burns calories and helps the cells to accelerate the fatburning process.
