Who said that you can throw off those extra pounds by sweating in the fitness room?
Remember: in the childhood you spent warm days, riding a bicycle, swimming, playing. With weight, there were no problems, and fun games were not perceived as exercises designed to maintain the form. So why not feel like a child again? Even the usual charging, if done on the street, is easier, and more calories are burned: air exercises cause more muscles to work. And if you still find hobbies that do not seem to imply the burning of fat, then one day you may find that you have lost a few pounds. Below are simple options for active rest for weight reduction.
Riding a scooter
We burn 500 kcal to meet the wind. The easiest way to feel like a child is to borrow a scooter from a younger generation. Enjoying a fast ride on asphalt paths, you burn more than 500 kcal per hour, significantly reduce the volume of legs and buttocks. Just do not forget to regularly change the jogging leg, otherwise you will pump the muscles from one side more than the other. Scooter, which will withstand the weight of an adult, and a sidewalk with an even surface. Before the trip, set the height of the rudder so that during the ride the back remains straight; otherwise a walk with a breeze can backfire with radiculitis.
Picturesque antidepressant
We burn 600 kcal. While jogging in the forest, the attention of the runner is more attracted by the world around him, rather than the speed with which he moves. Also it is not terrible, if it wanted to stop for a minute and take a breath. Just choose the paths that run along the slopes and hills: so you burn calories by 30% more than when you run along smooth paths (about 600 kcal per hour). Wear sneakers and a park nearby. Most of the magnificent persons do not like to run: they are afraid of pain in the joints. But walking at a pace along forest paths is safer than running on a path in the fitness hall: the soil softens the shock load on the joints.
Hunting for treasures
We burn 400 kcal. In Europe and America, geocaching is very popular. Its essence lies in the search for treasure (usually for this purpose a plastic box is used, in which trinkets and a note are put), hidden by someone else.

Let them hide the "treasure", and you will be stripped of the coordinates of the place. Enter them into the GPRS-navigator and go to the road. A more difficult option is to ask for a map of the area with special signs that will lead to the treasure.
