Result of your expenditures
Beware, exercise alone is not enough to lose weight!
Exercising helps to burn calories, shape your figure by gaining muscle mass, and increase the basal metabolic rate (calories burned at rest). Thus, exercise has a significant long-term impact on weight control and better health. However, to lose 1 kg of fat, you need to burn 7700 kcal, which represents hours of running.
So what is the right solution?
Exercise and daily activity are guarantees for controlling and maintaining weight in the long term, but as any athlete will tell you, 30% is about moving and 70% is about what's on your plate. Weight loss must therefore be a mix of expenditures (essential) and a diet that does not exceed your needs.

Find out more about gymnastics for weight loss!
While regular physical activity combined with a healthy diet can slim and tone the body, some disciplines are more effective than others at helping you lose weight. What about gymnastics and its caloric expenditure? How many times a week should you practice it to lose weight and see results? Here are some answers.
Calories burned with gymnastics!
Fast and effective, gymnastics can be a great way to maintain your figure on a daily basis from the comfort of your own home. And if you want to burn as many calories as possible while toning your body, you’ll need to turn to a gymnastics discipline generally practised in gyms. These more dynamic and convivial forms of gymnastics, such as calisthenics, Zumba, Bokwa or Mouv’K, will enable you to burn off as many calories as possible in a fun and friendly atmosphere. Generally speaking, gymnastics can generate an energy expenditure of 150 to 400 calories. In addition to regular exercise, a balanced diet is essential for effective and lasting results.
What is the metabolic equivalence of gymnastics?
The metabolic equivalent of a physical activity is a statistical unit(MET Metabolic Equivalent of Task) that expresses the ratio between the energy expenditure of a physical activity during exercise and the energy expenditure of an individual at rest. Gymnastics, for example, is a low-intensity activity with a MET value of 4, meaning that it burns 4 times more energy than at rest, as do tai chi and horse riding.
