Sports give a fun spin to exercise any day. Whether you’re into competitive sports or simply in it for a good game, the excitement motivates you like no gym could.

Even if you’re a couch potato just cheering your buddy along, sports burn fat. Some sports help you lose more weight than others. How about getting off that couch and checking out these interesting options?

Sport’s The Way To Go:

That’s right, play a sport, pump up your health and tone that body. Any sport you pick will not fail to burn a considerable amount of calories. The good news is it does not feel like exercise.

If you’re among those who hasn’t and will not see the inside of a gym, you would truly enjoy sports. Not to mention losing weight without lifting a weight!

Moreover, this intense hour of playtime encourages you to continue to lose weight over the long term. Choose the best sport that gets your calories zapped.

And here’s a list of the best of ‘em.

1. Run For Your Heart:

Running is right at the top of the list of exercises that can slash your weight, along with cycling. If you observe professional athletes, their toned midsection is proof enough.

Running as a sport is a great cardio, boosting both your heart and metabolism. Depending on whether you’re 50kgs or 75kgs, running and cycling will burn 300 or 500 calories in 30 minutes (1). Kick up the intensity and you’ll burn much more.

2. Tennis Like A Pro:

Sports that include rackets, like tennis and racquetball, move muscles as well as that stubborn fat. They are intense sports involving high energy levels. Inevitably, the calorie reserves in your body will fuel these energy demands.

Play tennis like a pro, and after you’ve chased the tennis ball around the court for 30 minutes, there is an easy 400 calorie deficit.

3. Kick, Punch, Burn:

With every punch, you must and will engage every muscle in your body. Kickboxing will work up a sweat while you tone those muscles and lose weight. In a single rigorous session, burn 500 to 700 calories under 45 minutes.

4. What’s Your Swimming Style?:

Swimming streamlines your body like no other. It melts the fat, defines your muscles and gives you a sleek look while you have fun with the water (2). You can zap 500 to 600 calories in 30 minutes if you swim non-stop.

5. Row Away To Fitness:

Team sports bring out the best in a person. Between the bonding and camaraderie, a raw energy drives teams to do better every day. Rowing, being the perfect example, contributes well to your fitness.

It builds immense strength and tones every muscle group, especially the core. Rowing also lets you sweat at least 400 calories in just 30 minutes.

6. One For The Basket:

And for the team! Lose weight along with the team and you will make one great looking bunch (3). With basketball, you’re constantly running, ducking and jumping along the court never knowing 400 calories got busted. And that’s just 20 minutes to half hour. I’m sure a game of basketball lasts longer.

7. Let’s Play Some Football:

Call it football, soccer or even rugby if you wish. Just get your team, play some ball. At the end of 30 minutes, you are sure to have burnt 500 calories. Meanwhile, the intense dodging and running activity involved in football is good for your cardiovascular health. Soon, weight loss is all but apparent.

8. You, Me, Dance off:

Dancing raises your heartbeat, engages your muscles, and moves your body. It is an excellent cardio to burn calories like there’s no tomorrow. Change the rhythms, mix the styles, go for it with all you have. In 30 minutes, 350 calories vanish into thin air, but surely you will keep the party going.

Gymnastics is one sport that builds immense flexibility and muscle endurance. Their lithe bodies are motivation enough, but if the sport is a lofty goal, dancing it is.
