Losing weight is an obsession for many people who are not comfortable with their physique or who, for health reasons, are looking for a better figure. And although diet is key for many to achieve this goal, there are quite a few people who accompany eating exercises such as running, which allows them to burn calories and gradually lose those extra kilos.
Exercise is essential to keep the human body healthy and in good working order, in addition to helping prevent certain diseases that at some point can become fatal. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends at least 150 to 300 minutes of moderate aerobic activity per week for adults, and an average of 60 minutes of moderate physical activity per day for children and adolescents.

And although there are many people who go to a gym frequently, others have jogging in the street as their favorite sporting activity, taking into account that it is a fun, healthy exercise that does not require any type of payment, since it can be done in any park or public space.
But in recent days, research results from Harvard University in the United States have been published, indicating that there are other sports activities that would be equally (or even more) effective than the same activity of going for a run for a certain time.

This research studied several people of different weights, doing various sports activities such as walking, dancing, skating, running and jumping rope. And precisely, the North American university determined that jumping rope is an activity that would burn the same calories as running. Always taking into account the modality that each person uses and the time that they dedicate to this exercise.

Recommendation: alternate intense activity with rest to accelerate calorie burning, jumping for 1 minute and resting for 1 minute until the desired exercise time is reached. It is possible to burn regarding 650 calories in 1 hour of exercise.
However, researchers at Harvard University also determined that there is an exercise that is even more effective for losing weight than running and jumping rope. It is regarding riding a bicycle, either for sport or as a means of transportation, using this means of transportation brings many benefits to the body and helps burn even more calories than running or jumping rope.
In fact, the consequences of cycling every day are positive, for example, the website mentions that it can help with fat burning, where a reasonable time of 45 minutes helps to eliminate approximately 400 calories. However, intensity and weight must be kept in mind.
It is worth mentioning that the portal cites a study from the Polytechnic University of Madrid, where according to his account, the first 30 minutes of exercise do not usually help with fat loss because the body uses the sugar that it has reserved, so more than 45 minutes are ideal, depending on the objective sought.
