Running is thought to be a high-impact exercise, because of the constant
strain that you put on your knees, thighs, and feet. Knowing that you
may only burn 10 calories per minute, when running, you may want to find
a different workout
Here is a selection of 10 exercises that can be more effective than running, to help you lose weight and get in shape.
10 – Jumping Rope
Jumping
rope is a fun, moderate-intensity exercise. You can burn about 13
calories each minute, if you can keep up 100 skips per minute. This
exercise uses more muscles than running, giving you a more thorough
workout.

rope exercises are a type of exercise that offers greater calorie burn
when compared to running. According to a recent study, battle ropes
exercises are the best for total oxygen consumption.
