Ever wonder what the best all-around workout activities burn the most fat? Well here’s your answer!

1. Skiing or snowboarding – While this might not work for those who don’t live near any mountains and it can get a little on the pricey side, skiing or snowboarding can burn 600 to 700 calories per hour, depending on your weight.
2. Running – Tried and tested, this old favorite is the absolute best fat-burner and a great cardio workout. Though running can be hard on your joints, you can potentially burn up to 1,000 calories per hour, depending on distance and speed.
3. Swimming – Who doesn’t enjoy swimming? It’s a great all-over body workout and it’s fun for everyone (as long as you have access to a pool). You can burn up to 700 calories an hour in the water!
4. Boxing – Boxing provides a workout for your whole body and burns up to 900 calories per hour (plus it makes you tough!).
5. Stairs – They’re easy to come by and what a workout they provide! Per hour, you can burn up to 700 calories with an excellent cardio-challenging run up and down the stairs.
