Choose Sports To Shape Up Your Body
December 13, 2008
Now days many people have started going to the gym to burn those extra pounds of fats and to shape up. Going to the gym in routine can become boring and doing the same exercise can be very monotonous.
In spite of the best of machinery, the trained professionals, the healthy environment, the fitness process cannot be that effective. And providing an all round fitness- cardiovascular fitness, muscular strength, endurance and strength can be really stressful for the body as well as mind. So, a better option and enjoyable way of shedding off extra fat and bringing the body to the perfect shape is to join a favorite pastime sport.
One of the best options in this field is soccer. The exercises included in this sport are twisting, kicking, darting, and lots of running which gives the best cardiovascular workout. For a person weighing 140-190 pounds, calories burnt can be from 477- 664 in 45 minutes apart from the pleasure of playing.
After soccer a good workout is offered by Rugby. It involves a full body workout involving wrestling and running. The exercise involved in this sport helps to develop all over muscle strength, endurance as well as flexibility and it provides a very good cardio vascular workout. In 40 minutes you can burn 424-590 calories. Another sport which provides a good work out is Water polo which burns about 63-88 calories in each of the four intense seven minute periods. As one churns the legs continuously in this sport it aids in building muscles. Then comes basket ball in which players have to do a lot of running like in soccer.
As the whole body is used by the players to defend the ball and handle it the players of this game are able to develop the endurance and strength of lower and body muscles. 170-236 calories can be burnt during each of the 20 minute halves of the serious game. The last sport in the list to be mentioned is football which like rugby helps to build the whole-body muscles and also provides a good
cardio-vascular workout. This sport also helps to burn a large number of calories if it is played seriously.
Therefore, it has been seen that these sports are a better substitute for joining a professional traning centre to shape up the body. Apart from burning the extra pounds these sports provide tremendous pleasure, so this makes the working out session very enjoyable.
