Five best cardio exercises to try in Oman

1. Skipping Rope
There aren’t many exercises that offer versatility (you can do it anywhere) while burning a massive load of fat, quite like jumping rope. Easy and fun, this exercise burns more than 10 calories a minute and is great for heart-health.

60-minute session: 700 to 1,000 calories burned (approx)

2. Cycling
You might be seated while doing this workout, but it is far from relaxing. Biking torches calories and tones the lower body and core, and doesn’t matter whether you are outdoors or indoors, just so long as you keep pedalling. Hit the hills or increase the resistance on stationary bikes for a bigger burn.

60-minute session: 600 to 1,000 calories burned (approx)

3. Walking Up hill
Walking, while a great low-intensity workout, can get a bit boring. Add the challenge of incline, and this leisurely activity becomes an intense cardio workout. Walking up hills or stairs will firm up the lower body, and adding a backpack with some books for weight will amp-up the cardio and toning benefits.
