The article published in FORBES Magazine discusses the numerous health benefits of various forms of exercise, including walking, hiking, jogging, interval training, cycling, rope jumping, and body weight exercises without equipment.

The article published in Forbes Magazine discusses the numerous health benefits of various physical activities, including walking, hiking, jogging, interval training, cycling, rope jumping, and body weight exercises without equipment.

The study 'Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers, and Prevention' found that women who walk for seven or more hours per week have a 14% lower risk of developing breast cancer.

A study conducted at the University of Michigan found that walking on rough terrain requires 28% more energy than walking on flat ground, which can help burn extra calories.

Running, in general, reduces the risk of heart disease by increasing 'good' HDL cholesterol, reducing 'bad' LDL cholesterol, and lowering blood pressure.

The study also found that completing a 20-minute HIIT workout four times a week over five weeks increased the peak oxygen capacity of participants by 9%.

Chesworth explains that a real cardio workout can be identified by three clear signs: an increase in heart rate, repetitive movements, and engagement of large muscles.

Bernard suggests that jumping rope can burn several hundred calories in just 15 minutes, depending on body composition.

Research indicates that bodyweight-only exercises, such as squats, can provide varying degrees of strength compared to using gym equipment, such as a leg press machine. This is because bodyweight exercises require independent control of posture and rely more on stabilizing muscles.
