and cardiovascular exercise, hiking can burn
nearly as many calories as jogging. Hiking works
the butt, legs and abs, as well as building
cardiovascular endurance. Hiking can burn about
220 calories.
6Swimming
- Swimming can be much more than just refreshing
and fun, it can also make for an incredible

the major muscle groups. Swimming can help to
tone, strengthen, and condition the body without
the jarring effects of other activities. Swimming
can burn about 270 calories.
7Beach volleyball
- Beach volley makes for an awesome full body
workout that targets and tones the legs, arms,
shoulders and abs. Beach volleyball burns about
290 calories, which is basically equal to that of
running at 5 mph.

- Rowing and kayaking make for challenging
cardiovascular workouts. Rowing and kayaking work
the arms, shoulders, back and core muscles.

9Snorkeling/ Scuba Diving
- Snorkeling and scuba diving offer the benefits of

stress, and discomfort of a typical workout. This
activity will burn a ton of calories while
tightening and toning the body. Snorkeling burns
about 170 calories per 30 minutes, while scuba
diving can burn up to 400 calories!
10Running/ Jogging

muscles more. You can increase the difficulty of
your run by planning a route that incorporates
flat, uphill, and downhill terrain to stimulate
as many muscles as possible. Running burns about
290 calories at a pace of 5 mph .
11Walking
- If youre not a runner or dont want to be a
runner, walking is an excellent way of squeezing
in some exercise. You can make walking your main
workout or just consider walking a bonus. A brisk
walk burns about 135 calories.
12Research suggests that exercising outdoors is
linked with good things such as greater vitality,
enthusiasm, pleasure, self-esteem, and lower
levels of stress hormone cortisol and less bad
things such as tension, depression, and fatigue.
Importantly, it seems that if you exercise
outside, youre also more likely to exercise
longer If stepping out is not your thing but
you still like running or walking, then get a
manual treadmill, which is also cost-effective as
it comes cheaper consumes no electricity and
less space occupancy.
