Exercise and calories 
One of the most efficient forms of cardiovascular1 exercise is running or fast walking, 
which have been proved to have a positive effect in reducing cholesterol (l) levels. This 
type of exercise lowers your blood pressure and can help diabetics (2) too, by helping 
their insulin (3) work more effectively. Running or jogging is also a great way to burn 
calories, and you don‘t have to be excessively sporty (4) 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 (5), which helps you to burn calories more quickly. This can help to 
lower your BMI (6) to a healthy level. If you‘re intent on (7) losing weight, 
running, brisk(8) walking and fast cycling are excellent ways of doing so!
