5 Cardio Exercises for Weight Loss

Low-intensity cardio is ideal for beginners or those with joint concerns. It keeps your heart rate below 50% of your maximum heart rate and can be sustained for longer periods. Examples include:

Walking: Burns approximately 7–10 calories per minute depending on body weight and pace. Regular walking for 30–60 minutes, 3–5 times per week, can reduce body fat and improve cardiovascular health.
Light Jogging: Slightly higher intensity than walking, burning 10–14 calories per minute. Jogging helps target visceral fat and can be done on softer surfaces to reduce joint stress.
Cycling: Low-impact and joint-friendly, cycling at moderate speeds burns 6–8 calories per minute and improves overall fitness and insulin sensitivity.
Swimming: Provides a full-body workout with minimal joint impact, burning calories efficiently while improving endurance and muscle tone.
