What individual sports we'll help me loss weight in healthy way?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Aerobic exercise: Any type of exercise that involves sustained physical activity that is strenuous enough to maintain your target heart rate for 20-30 minutes at a time is considered aerobic exercise and is the preferred way to burn fat effectively. Your target heart rate can be calculated by subtracting your age from 220, then aiming for a sustained heart rate of 55-70% of this. Best of luck to you!
