Every person in this world has a dream to get an athletic physique. This is not so easy; it requires hard work and consistency. Weight is a growing issue nowadays which is getting a good exposure due to its enormous issue like obesity, heart issues, fatigue which is like inviting diseases one after the other. Indulging yourself in these fat burning sports will also sharpen your mind and memory.

1) Swimming

Calories burned per hour: 500 to 800

Swimming’s biggest health benefit is its complete lack of impact on your joints and it’s a great toner. A swimmer uses his every single muscle in his body to propel him in water, that’s including the neck and the face and the toe muscles. It develops muscle strength and fortitude and improves posture and flexibility.

Swimming also provides an effective aerobic workout. Swimming provides the cardiovascular benefits of aerobic exercise without the high impact on your joints. Age, injuries or obesity-related conditions may require selecting a sport that doesn’t put more pressure on your body.

2) Sprinting

Calories burned per hour: 900 to 1,500

If you want to lose weight or burn calories; sprinting is the easiest sport to adopt. Sprinting makes you breathe harder consequently increases the amount of oxygen in your blood. This helps your body detoxify. Sprinting also strengthens your muscles and increases metabolism and heart rate. Performing short sprints at intervals daily increases heartbeat, blood circulation and also raise the body temperature. All these activities ultimately help you lose weight in short time.

3) Racquets

Calories burned per hour: 390 to 780

The racquet sports, including tennis and racquetball, are all vigorous activities that require constant movement as the ball flies and bounces across the court. While tennis is usually played on an outdoor court, racquetball is played in an enclosed room, where the ball may bounce off any of the four walls, the ceiling or the floor. It’s a great workout; however, you might not want to tackle this sport if you have bad knees or ankles. For the maximum physical benefit, singles are better than its doubles counterpart because you’ll cover more ground during a match. Your shoulders, forearms, and hips will get a workout even if you’re a beginner.

4) Soccer

Calories burned per hour: 600 to 900

It is also an efficient sport for weight loss because it works muscles and heart in different ways.  Soccer builds more muscle mass and burns more calories by employing both slow-twitch and fast-twitch muscle fibers. Soccer builds and preserves muscle mass, boosting your metabolism instead of encouraging muscle loss. You don’t have to strap on the pads and risk injuries and bruises to get in shape through the team sport of football. And whether you’re on offense or defense, the running and quick changes in direction will be sure to help you tone up or drop the pounds.

5) Basketball

Calories burned per hour: 496 to 687

It has this stretching exercise on its own. This sport can give you good height with toned body shape. It involves good running, jumping, stretching, footwork and alert mind to throw the ball in the basket. It is a good family sport too.

6) Martial Arts

Calories burned per hour: 700 to 1,100

Regardless of whether you’re practicing karate, judo, tae kwon do or any other martial art, you can’t go wrong. Any activity that has you moving quickly and in a variety of ways is sure to help tone you up, whether you’re learning a new martial art or you’re an experienced combatant. You don’t have to learn this skill with the intention of fighting or grappling. Gyms are full of people learning combat sports without the intention of stepping into the ring.

7) Gymnastics

Calories burned per hour: 334 to 500

It demands massive energy and fitness. It is a sport involving performance, power, swiftness, flexibility, balance as well as coordination. Gymnastics demand a high level of energy, best body shape, and fitness. That’s why Competitive gymnasts have some of the slimmest, most carefully-honed bodies in sports. Gymnastics is classified as a moderate calorie-burning exercise.

8) Boxing

Calories burned per hour: 800 to 1000

Boxing requires hours of training, from jumping rope to sparring before you actually hit the ring for a match. Endurance, agility, footwork, quick reflexes and decisions are all incorporated in the sport. In addition, you’ll burn a significant number of calories, which is essential in reducing belly fat.

9) Cycling

Calories burned per hour: 670 to 1000 calories

Cycling is suitable for everyone, any age or level of fitness. It helps burn fats, improves health and gets you in the right shape. It also strengthens the major muscle groups in the legs: the quadriceps, glutes, hamstrings, and calves.

10) Parkour

Calories burned per hour: 600 to 800

This sport demands a variety of different movement patterns, each of which is incredibly demanding on the core muscles. Parkour is a high- calorie-burning sport. It includes obstacle courses, running, climbing, swinging, mantling, vaulting, jumping, rolling and quadruped movement depending on the given situation. The movements you’ll execute when performing Parkour increase the total calorie burn per minute, making this one sport that will get you cut very quickly.
