There’s no doubt that running is a fabulous form of exercise. It burns calories and works many of your muscles at the same time. You only need minimal gear and a trail or sidewalk to engage in running. However, if you’re anything like me, running makes you want to cry. Don’t get me wrong, I love exercise. Just not running. In the same boat? Here are some exercises that will burn more fat than a run around the neighborhood ever will.

1 Burpees
ومن الواضح أنك لن تفعل بوربيس طالما أنك قد تذهب لتشغيل، ولكن يقدر الخبراء أن يمكنك حرق حوالي 1 من السعرات الحرارية لكل باربي يمكنك القيام به. وهذا يعني أنه إذا كنت تفعل 60 منهم في دقيقة واحدة، كنت جيدا على طريقك إلى بعض حرق السعرات الحرارية ميجا مع بضع دقائق فقط من بوربيس. إذا كنت تبحث عن المزيد من ضجة لباك الخاصة بك، وأعتقد حقاً ينبغي أن تحاول بوربيس.
2 An Uphill Hike
Walking will never burn as many calories as running does, but taking an uphill hike can. As long as you have a backpack with supplies on your back and you walk at a normal, steady pace, you can burn more than 400 calories on a one hour hike. Hiking is way more fun than running, so plan to take a hike a couple of times per month to really switch things up.
3 Kettlebell Swings
This is one of my very favorite exercises. The great thing about kettlebells is that you can do them at home. I like to do my routine while I watch television in the evenings. Kettlebells swings are pretty easy to master and you will love how they burn fat and calories while also transforming your entire body.
4 Jumping Rope
Jumping rope is another exercise you can do at home. All you need is some sturdy shoes and a jump rope. Experts estimate that you can burn about 13 calories per minute of jumping rope. That translates to more than 100 calories in just 10 minutes of jumping. This form of exercise also works your muscles and it’s fun, so you shouldn’t have a hard time sticking with it.
5 Boxing
Boxing is an outstanding form of exercise. Not only does it burn mega calories (more than 700 per hour), but it also tones your muscles and helps relieve stress at the same time. You can certainly do boxing at a gym so you learn the proper techniques and styles. Or, you can hang a heavy bag at home and do your workout there. Either way, you’re sure to burn more fat than you would going for a run.
6 Dancing
Who knew that doing something you love could burn more fat and calories than running? Just going to the club and dancing with your friends will burn more than 400 calories in one hour. Having fun and getting a great workout? Sign me up! Of course, if clubbing isn’t your thing, you can always take a dance class or shake it up to music at home. Have fun!
7 Battle Ropes
This exercise involves shaking large, heavy ropes in various ways. You get such a great workout with this one. It burns more than 10 calories per minute and works muscles you never even knew you had. You’ll need to do battle ropes at the gym as you probably won’t have room at home to give them a try.
Do you love or hate running? Will you try any of these fab workouts instead?
