Running out of ideas and motivations to keep your work out regimen
on track at peak performance? Anyone can burn calories by being
active. All activities do not expend the same amount of energy.
The intensity of fitness directly impacts the amount of calories
used for any given activity. Since
burning calories is estimated according to weight and the intensity
of a work-out, use the following calories to calculate the approximated
number of calories used while performing various activities
for one hour. The figures represent a moderate-intensity level
for many activities for a person weighing 140 to 180-pound person
exercising for one-hour duration:
•Aerobic dancing 416-533
•Backpacking 448-574
•Badminton 288-369
•Bicycling (outdoor) 512-656
•Bicycling (indoor stationary) 448-574
•Bowling 192-246
•Canoeing 224-287
•Dancing 288-369
•Gardening 256-328
•Golfing 288-369
•Hiking 384-492
•Jogging, 5 mph 512-656
•Racquetball 448-574
•Rope jumping 640--820
•Running, 8 mph 864-1,107
•Skating, (ice- or roller-) 448-574
•Skiing (cross-country) 512-656
•Skiing (downhill) 384--492
•Stair climbing 576-738
•Swimming 384-492
•Tennis 448-476 539-574
•Volleyball 192-246
•Walking, 2 mph 160--205
•Walking, 3.5 mph 243-312
Individuals
who are less than 140 pounds or heavier than 190 pounds, may
calculate how many calories have been expended by taking the
lower or higher number of the caloric burn table above and multiply
the number by their weight. Then multiply the figure by your
weight and divide by 175. For instance, if you weigh 200 pounds
here is how to calculate the number calories burned during an
hour walk:
312
x 200 = 356 / 175 calories an hour
175
Alternatively,
a person weighing 107 pounds and bicycling outside for 1 hour
would use the following formula to calculate burned calories.
512
X 107 / 175 = 313 calories |
