Summer sports mode on! These exercises make you lose weight the more you play

Taiwan has everything except the largest number of people. Are you tired of having to compete with a bunch of people for a jogging spot in the park every day, while also dodging, overtaking and idling? Tired of waiting in line at the gym for the treadmill and the fitness equipment covered with the sweat of your previous friends? Why make things difficult for yourself when exercising? Break away from your stereotypes about exercise. This summer, exercise can be very different!

[Outdoor Series] Sunshine, beaches, and seaside are the best places for drinking beer... No, I mean sports! It doesn’t matter if you get a little tanned, because that’s how you stay in the sun. The first choice for outdoor activities is of course sports that are also recreational. The following recommendations are sure to hit your spot!

• Diving/snorkeling, rafting

Have you made your travel plans for this year’s long holiday? Although Taiwanese people live on an island, they still like to go to other smaller islands for vacation, and one of the things they definitely want to do on their itinerary is snorkeling/diving! Even if you don’t go abroad, visiting Lanyu and Penghu is one of the must-do activities.

According to the National Health Administration and other online exercise calorie calculation websites, for a 60kg adult, snorkeling can consume 151 calories and diving can consume 211 calories if the exercise time is 30 minutes. In addition, many people will sign up for the eastern rafting trip in the summer vacation, which can consume more than 300 calories in 30 minutes. For those who want to lose weight, the CP value is very high (of course, the premise is not to eat a lot after the end!)

• surf

Both rafting and surfing have the same effect on the core muscles and arms. If we compare the calories burned, rafting consumes more calories than surfing, but surfing still has a good added effect on whole-body fat burning and muscle training.

• Beach Volleyball

Have you been to Kenting, Pingtung and Fulong on the North Coast this summer? The sand sculpture exhibition is in progress. The beach is a must-visit place in summer. Come play a game of beach volleyball! You can burn 236 calories in 30 minutes. If you are lucky, you may even have a romantic encounter at the beach in summer.

• Cycling

Where to go in nice weather? My mom told me not to go to crowded places. If you don’t want to squeeze with the crowds, riding a bicycle is a good sport. At least you won’t be squeezed and in close contact with other cars. Some parks that are open for cycling are good places to go. They can help promote blood circulation and exercise the leg and foot joints. If you don’t want to find a special place to ride, changing your means of transportation to work to youbike is also a good idea!

[Indoor Series] The sun is so strong, are you afraid of your fair and tender skin being exposed to the sun? Don’t like tan and would rather stay indoors all day? If you don’t like the sunny style and feel that indoor sports are more in line with your style, then the following sports list may suit your taste!

• badminton

It is suitable for singles or doubles, and is suitable for people who like to compete with others and fight for victory. In addition to the important wrist flexibility, badminton also exercises leg muscle strength. Just look at the well-developed calf muscles of the badminton coach! Playing badminton for 30 minutes can burn about 266 calories, and if you play a game, it will increase to about 413 calories. It depends on whether you play for fun or to fight to the death.

• Yoga

I don’t need to say much about the benefits of yoga, right? Yoga can promote the health of body, mind and spirit. Modern people lead busy and anxious lives. Yoga can calm people's minds, adjust breathing, promote blood circulation, release stress, and make people feel relaxed. It is also helpful for fitness and weight loss.

• swim

Is there any more comfortable exercise than swimming in summer? Soaking in the cool pool, you won’t feel sweaty and sticky even if you swim hard. What’s more, swimming for 30 minutes can burn nearly 300 calories, which is equivalent to a bag of French fries!

• Shooting darts

Is darts considered a sport? certainly! As long as you don’t drink marinated beer while playing….Darts require quick, sharp and accurate eye-hand coordination. Friends who try darts for the first time will definitely feel the soreness in their upper arms the next day. It’s just like the intensity of weight training~

• bowling

Bowling is a retro sport that is also suitable for playing with friends indoors on hot summer days. You can also enjoy the thrill of bowling all the way. 30 minutes of bowling can burn about 177 calories, which is slightly higher than darts! A reminder: when playing bowling, remember to choose snacks and drinks carefully, so as not to consume more calories than you burn, which would not be worth it!
