5 Best Exercises to Lose Weight

4. Running

Perhaps the simplest yet most effective exercise that can help lose weight is running or jogging. According to Harvard Health, a person weighing 155 pounds can burn 298 calories during 30 minutes of jogging or 372 calories during 30 minutes of running. On average, running can burn between 10.8 to 16 calories per minute and this calorie burn can be increased by increasing the speed of running or adding in sprint intervals. Another benefit of running is that it helps burn visceral fat which can be harmful to your health. Running is a simple exercise that can be easily performed anywhere and is one of the best ways to lose weight.
