Those who are searching for easy sports that they can do for a healthy lifestyle and to put themselves on the fast track for weight loss are in luck. There are a large number of sports that have been scientifically proven to aid in weight loss while increasing your overall sense of well-being.

So while there is no such thing as a magic pill that you can take in the morning and wave goodbye to all of your unwanted pounds, there is something much better than that: Getting active and getting in shape.

Those who are active and involved in sports tend to live happier lives, are less stressed, often make healthier food choices, and reduce their mortality rate by 25-40%. 

Ready to get on the right track? Here are 2 sports you can participate in to help shed those unwanted pounds fast.

Jogging

Jogging is a full body, low impact workout. And the best part? Because it's a stand alone sport, one that requires only you and the open road, all you need is a good pair of shoes and some drive to get it done.

Jogging just a few miles every other day has been shown to noticeably boost your metabolism, increase your fitness level, reduce fatigue, and help to quickly shed unwanted body fat.

Tip: Continue to build endurance and shed pounds by increasing distance weekly as you work towards your goal. 

Cycling or Biking

Jumping on a bike not only helps your lose weight fast, it helps strengthen muscles, your heart, and cardiovascular system. Plus, if there was any doubt to the contrary, it is a lot of fun and ideal to do in tandem.

Cycling or biking 5 miles a day has been proven to help shed unwanted weight fast. The total body workout builds muscle, increases your stamina, and burns a huge amount of calories. Plus, for extra incentive, it has competitive aspects that can really keep you going.

Tip: As you continue to build muscle and lose weight, set lengthier distance for yourself so that you are always reaching higher heights.
