1 Squash
Squash is powerful cardio with game elements. It is somewhat reminiscent of badminton or tennis because of the similar training scheme: you need to hit the ball with a special racket. The sport quickly became popular due to its effectiveness and short duration – you can burn about 1,000 calories in just 40 minutes!
Squash not only helps you lose weight, but also significantly strengthens the muscles of your buttocks, arms and legs, as well as improve your endurance and agility.

Boxing is a great option for those who want to not only get in shape, but also let off some steam. Hitting a punching bag increases muscle tone in the back, shoulders and arms and thereby enhances fat burning – you can burn 500 calories in one boxing session.
3 Tai-bo
If you take exercises from various martial arts and add to them elements of aerobics, then we get tai-bo. These are intense workouts during which you definitely won’t have to defend yourself from anyone. During training, blows are thrown “in the air,” so you will only have to fight with your own kilograms.
Classes are usually accompanied by upbeat music and sometimes include dance moves. This is a powerful cardio load, so, alas, you won’t be able to build muscles, but if you use weights in the form of dumbbells or expanders, then an attractive relief will soon appear on your arms.

4 Rowing
When working on a rowing machine, not only the muscles of the arms, back and shoulders are involved, as many people think. Here, up to 80% of the total muscle mass is worked out. For example, during the process of bending, the abdominal muscles work no worse than during classical exercises. And vice versa, resisting the tension of the simulator, the buttocks, back and arms begin to work.
Due to the fact that most muscles are involved in the workout, there is a sharp release of energy, and fat literally melts before our eyes. You can burn up to 600 calories in just one session!
5 Swimming
Professional swimmers have the highest energy consumption, they can spend up to 1000 calories . Water sports enthusiasts can only be content with figures of 500-600 units. The further the swim and the more intense the movements, the more efficiently the kilograms are burned. For example, swimming breaststroke, you can spend 400 calories per hour, but butterfly – already 2 times more.
If swimming does not excite you, you can opt for water aerobics, which is ideal for those who have become overweight. In water, body weight feels noticeably lower, so exercises are much easier and simpler than on land, without losing their effectiveness.
6 Bodyflex
Bodyflex is one of the types of fitness that harmoniously combines breathing and statistical strength exercises. Training using this system strengthens various muscle groups, improves blood circulation, gets rid of cellulite and even has a rejuvenating effect.
Due to the acceleration of metabolism and an increase in muscle mass, body volumes gradually decrease, and in a month of effective training you can lose a couple of centimeters in your waist.
