These exercises burn 6 times more calories than jogging

People who jog every morning are usually in good shape and look attractive. It’s also a well known fact that jogging as well as just fast walking can burn a lot of calories. Jogging is an effective method of staying fit that we are used to. However, what if there is something even more effective?

We suggest you to run backwards. Jogging backwards makes more muscle groups workout and loads quadriceps, one of the biggest muscles in your legs. 100 backwards steps burn the same amount of calories as 1000 ordinary jogging steps. Thus, it is 10 times more effective! That’s incredible, isn’t it?

What is more backward running is way less dangerous in terms of injuries. Since your velocity will be low and the your knees won’t be as overloaded. So, we encourage you try backwards jogging out and stay looking gorgeous in that bikini or swim suit.

And also we suggest doing these exercises several times a week to burn calories. Scroll down and look.

– Take the bar with your hands facing forward, unlock it and lift it off the rack by extending your legs.

– Engage both inner thighs as you sweep your right leg across your body toward the left, aiming your leg toward your left shoulder.

– Circle your leg down toward the mat, then out to the right, and finally back to center. Inhale for the first half of the leg circle and exhale for the second half.
