Best exercise to loose fat

Hey everyone. I've got a question; what's the best exercise to loose body fat? I was thinking running? But I'm not really sure. If you've got any tips or ideas please post them here. Thanks

Swimming is good - its aerobic and toning - I go for swimming over running as there is no impact on your joints so you are less likely to pick up injuries.

I like it - it allows me to clear my head - its almost like meditating for me- concentrating on breathing and counting lengths. But its not for everyone. I think running and cycling. Although if you get bored easily, you could try team sports - footie, netball, hockey....

Oh and squash is probably good  - but I find that dull and bad for my knees!

Yeah swimming's probably not for me. I get bored when things are slow. I hate squats! The're so painful. I would never try them them again. Thanks for the tip though Smiley

Do that thing, well, I don't really know how to explain it but I'm sure you've seen it before...........football players do it I think. You kinda jog to the side, on leg over the other, then stop and sprint back the other way. That's what I do and it works. And you can do it in a small space, I do it in my room. I alternate 3 minutes of whatever that side running thing is, then 1 minute of jogging in place, then 1 minute of arm circles for a total of 20 minutes. So far it's been very effective.

biclycing i think...buy a stationary bike are u can put it in ur living room and watch tv while u exercise so u dont get bored..i think imma ask my rents for one:P lol

btw running only burns 100 calories per mile so its not that much bang for ur buck calorie wise but its got alot of other benefits but if u wanna lose lots of weight i dont think it should be ur main exercise. biking and swimming seem like good options and i hear dancing is really good to...or u can try kick boxing Cheesy tons of fun I hear

going up and down stairs...it exhausts your body faster so you burn calories quicker. after that i would suggest swimming, running, and jump roping. i personally keep in shape by dancing Smiley

you're right about cardio...regular cardio workouts, like running, swimming, bike riding, jump roping, etc...get your blood pumping and boost your metabolism, increasing the rate at which you burn fat so you continue to lose fat even when not working out.  However, if you're like me and you're easily bored by repetitive activities like those above, sports like basketball, soccer, and football are fantastic.  I belong to my gym at school, but I'm just not satisfied by running on a treadmill, so I'm infrequently motivated to work out.  If I can get together one or two friends for a game of soccer or basketball, I can exercise for hours and not think about it twice.  Soccer also helps sculpt your legs and butt Wink

i heard that walking a mile burns the same amount of calories as running a mile does. is that true?  nd if it is, how does that make sense???

I think you should alternate between running, swimming, and jumping rope.  Just so you don't get bored.

Although I have heard that jumping rope burns the most calories. Also, you could go to a local Eddie Baurer (Have no idea how to spell it, lol) and buy a jump rope there. I recently brought one for like $10 and it records the number of calories you burn.

Yeah, I would definitly say running (on the sand is really challenging but works double time), walking, or swimming.

yea that's all great stuff.  i have something else too.  a lot of u guys said that dancing is good.  well there's this thing called DDR (Dance Dance Revolution or something).  and well there's different versions of it.  but there's this one where there's these different modes like Game Mode and Party Mode and Battle Mode and Workout Mode and all these different things.  Workout Mode shows how many calories you burn.  it's really cool and it's soooooo FUN!!!!!  i suck at it tho.......

DDR can be kind of hard but the more advanced songs can really work up a sweat and it's good for your whole lower body (most people don't bother to move their arms while doing it). You can almost always find a machine at an arcade or buy the video game (you have to step lightly on the video game mat though).

any kind of exercise can burn fat as long as you do it at an aerobic level.  Just make sure you get your heart rate up.  Usually if I'm sweating I know if doing enough.

^ To lose weight/fat, the best exercise is to STOP exercising your jaw muscles.

I know plenty of people who work out several times a week, but yet they never seem to "get in shape"  - they are fit, to a certain degree, but they never reach what they often state as their goal, i.e. lose ten/fifteen pounds, have a slimmer waist, etc. - because they keep on eating the same fatty, high-sugar foods they always have.
