nothing can really beat a good run. An eight-minute mile pace can have you burning over 1,100 calories in an hour, or around 550 calories in 30 minutes. The faster the pace, the more calories you'll be burning with a six-minute mile pace burning over 1,400 calories. Cycling at a racing level is also a great way to burn calories fast, in just 60 minutes, you can lose up to 1,400 calories cycling at a fast pace.

All these lost calories will add up in the long run as you improve your health. Maintaining a healthy weight will help reduce cardiovascular disease risk, lower blood pressure and lower cholesterol levels.
