Running is a great form of workout. It’s one of the most stress-busting exercises which boosts your overall fitness. Even though all you just need is a pair of shoes and an open road for it, practically all the gyms have a treadmill. That’s how much we love this experience. 

It burns insane calories- almost 10 cal/min which is pretty awesome! That does not take away from the fact that not everyone is a great running enthusiast.

Hence, FITPASS brings you 6 awesome high-intensity workouts which help you sweat out more calories that running on a summer day.

 

1. Skipping/Jumping Ropes (Up to 30% more)

On an average, it burns more calories than jogging. Moreover, it works on more muscle groups as well as balance and coordination.
