Running is one of the best types of cardio exercises but not everybody is fond of it.

If you're part of the group that doesn't really like running that much maybe you can substitute it for these other forms of exercise.

1.Jump rope

Doing about 100 to 120 skips per minute helps to burn about 13 calories in a minute.

2.Jump squats

A study conducted by Auburn University found that "participants that did eight rounds of all-out jump squats - 20 seconds of hard work, separated seconds of rest - burned 13.4 calories per minute".

3.Battle ropes

Battle ropes can help burn an average calorie burn of 10.3 calories per minute.
