The SunOne of the most efficient forms of cardiovascular exercise is running or fast walking, which have been proved to have a positive effect in reducing cholesterol levels. This type of exercise lowers your blood pressure and can help diabetics too, by helping their insulin work more effectively. Running or jogging is also a great way to burn calories, and you don’t have to be excessively sporty to do it. Based on a calculation of your body weight in relation to the time you devote to an activity, a person who weighs 63 kilos can burn 148 calories by jogging for 20 minutes. The same person doing half an hour of cycling at 25 kph could burn more than 330 calories. Exercise can also speed up your metabolism, which helps you to burn calories more quickly. This can help to lower your BMI to a healthy level. If you’re intent on losing weight, running, brisk walking and fast cycling are excellent ways of doing so!■ English Vocabulary in Use: Advanced, Third Edition
