Ready to shed stubborn pounds? Here’s a look at some of the best cardio for fat loss.

• Incline Walking

This is one of the best options for those who love running yet want to limit the amount of impact they are putting on their body. Inclined walking can burn just as many calories as running, if not more, and can also improve running form and muscle endurance.

The average number of calories burned in 1-hour of brisk incline walking is between 224-310 calories.

• Stair Climber

A stair climber is a low-impact form of cardio that can be a great way to improve the muscle endurance of the legs   

 The average number of calories burned in 1-hour of walking on the Stairmaster is between 360-520 calories.

• Rowing

Rowing is a low-impact, high-intensity form of cardio that can increase leg endurance and pulling power. Unlike other forms of cardio, rowing offers the added benefit of performing rows with the upper body making this a total body cardio movement that targets the legs, core, and back muscles (and some biceps). The average number of calories burned in 1-hour of brisk rowing is between 420-623 calories.

• Assault Bike

This low impact, varied intensity type of cardio is a great option for all levels of lifters.

The low impact nature of this exercise makes it great for beginners and individuals who may have knee or lower back issues.

The average number of calories burned on the assault bike is between 20-30 calories per minute if you’re doing a moderate-fast pace, which is far higher than other forms of cardio.

• Weight Training

Resistance training is an essential part of losing weight and increasing the likelihood that the weight you lose is predominantly body fat (as opposed to muscle loss).

The average number of calories burned in 1-hour of weight training is between 360-504 calories.

• Boxing

Boxing is a great way to burn calories, increase shoulder, back, and core endurance, while also limiting the amount of impact on the lower body.

The average number of calories burned in a high-intensity 1-hour boxing class is between 600-800 calories.

• Kickboxing
