One of the most important components of loosing weight is regular exercise. As all of us get bored easily and most of us don’t really like exercising even if paid (I was one of them until recently), it is important to incorporate different activities in our routine that will burn calories but won’t bear the horrible name of “exercises”.

If you get a change to walk to the market or do anything else in the town, you should know that 30 minutes of moderate walk burns between 94 and 138 calories if you are a female weighing between 140 -190 lbs, while if you are a male weighing between 170 -210 lbs it will burn between 111 and 145 calories. On the other hand, 30 minutes of brisk walking (recommended for weight loss) burns between 115 and 166 calories (female same weight as above) or 136 and 176 calories (male same weight as above). If you like to swim you should know that 30 minutes of swimming can burn between 250 and 350 calories (female same weight as above) or 300 and 379 calories (male same weight as above).

These are just some of the easy cardio exercises that you can do for pleasure and for “exercising” and still burn calories and loose weight.
