Burning calories during exercise?
966568
The number of calories you burn is a function of your heart rate.  In order to burn more calories, you need to get your heart rate higher.  The healthiest way to do this is just work harder.  Another way it can be done, which is not as heathy, is wearing long sleeves and sweatpants when working out.  If you do that, though, make SURE you drink lots of water to replace the water loss through sweating.  \n\nTry doing chest presses to increase the strength in your pecs.  It's your chest muscles that youre using the most when doing pushups, so you need to do chest building exercises.  If you dont know how to do a chest press, ask one of the trainers at the gym that's not working with a client.  That's the reason theyre always just walking around the gym, for questions like that.

The best type of activity for "instant" calorie-burning is aerobic training. The best type of activity to raise metabolic rate and increase "longer-term calorie expenditure" is anaerobic training, like weight-lifting.\n\nThe ideal calorie-burning training program involves a combination of both these types of exercises. Ideally get advice from a fitness professional as to how to structure your program. As a rough guide, if doing a 60-minute workout at a fitness center or using a home gym, divide your program into approximately 40 minutes cardio and 20 minutes weight-training, or do aerobics one day and weights the next.

How many calories you burn will be specific to each person.  On average though running will burn more than bicycle riding. Men burn faster than women, heavier people will burn more than thinner people.  You will need to find a chart that you can adjust for your sex and weight and other factors.\nBicycle riding at 5.5 MPH will burn about 450 calories per hour\nRunning at 11:30 minute mile pace will burn about 700 calories per hour.

Building more muscle mass through free weights will burn more calories in the long run because Cardio only burns during the event and briefly after wards, but lean muscle tissue burns calories all the time. There is no standard rate of calorie "burn" for cardio since there are so many ways to do cardio. Sprinting burns more calories than jogging, but you can't sprint for an hour. If you want to maximize the weight loss effects of cardio you should keep your sessions around 40 to 60 minutes and work harder during that time using interval training.

3,500 calories = one pound.  If you burn 3,500 calories, you will lose a pound in caloric energie, but depending on what type of exercise, you might not lose exactly a pound due to increased muscle mass.  For fat burning, you want to do things like walk instead of run, because running is a cardivascular exercise, and gets your heart rate going, but walking is better for fat burning because your heart doesn't have to work as hard and you will be in the "fat burning zone"

You will burn more calories with a HR of 165. But if you are talking fat loss you will also burn more fat with a HR of 165. Note that your body greatly changes when you are exercising during fatigue. For example do a spin class and then run moderately for 30 minutes after you will see faster results.\n\nYou can get scientific but I won't bore you cause in reality it's get mathematics and doesn't work out. But in reality everyone is totally different. Take me for example I work out 6 days a week up to 9 sessions. I burn more body fat & weight during exercises that are high in intensity.  \n\nWhat you are asking is fat not weight so in theory the harder you train the bigger difference you will see so in essence the higher the heart rate the more fat you will burn.

To lose one pound, you have to burn 3,500 calories. Sound tough? Not if you break it down. To lose a pound a week, do an hour each day of any activity that burns an extra 500 calories.\n\nThe number of calories you'll burn during exercise is affected by your body weight, the intensity of your workout, your conditioning level, and metabolism, so burn rates are only an estimate. But here are ten activities that blast about 500 calories per hour, based on the weight of a 130-pound woman.\n    *\n\n      Rowing (vigorous effort): 502\n    *\n\n      Running 5.2 mph (11.5 minute mile): 531\n    *\n\n      Ice skating 9 mph: 531\n    *\n\n      Kickboxing: 590\n    *\n\n      Rock climbing (ascending): 649\n    *\n\n      Cross-country skiing (vigorous effort): 531\n    *\n\n      Swimming laps freestyle (vigorous effort): 590\n    *\n\n      Bicycling 14 - 15.9 mph (vigorous effort): 590\n    *\n\n      Walking up stairs: 472\n    *\n\n      Running up stairs: 885

Yes, jumping rope is good exercise for burning calories and it also has a positive impact on coordination.\n\nAt 85 pounds, in 15 minutes will burn 70 calories.\n\nWear good shoes, though, to avoid foot problems due to the higher impact of this exercise.

What I do is about one hour on the treadmill, as fast as I can go (with a bit of an incline) to get me sweating and my heart rate up and then I get off of there and go to the leg and arm machines (lol, sorry for the lack of technical terms) and work out there for about 30 mins and then I get back on the treadmill and work out for another 30 mins (this burns more calories when you stop and start back again). I hope this helps and good luck with your exercise routine!! :)

It depends on how intense youre doing it. If youre going at moderate pace you would lose about 500 or so calories in an hour. But when you go intense, you lose more calories alot after the work out. \n\n(All I said was for cardio exercise.)

Everyone is different when it comes to calorie burning due to heart rate, age, weight etc.. As an indication I would assume that you would burn about 150 calories for every 10 minutes. Which is really high. \n\nThe biggest issue with this is that you are placing a great amount of emphasis on knees and ankles which are the areas that tend to get injuries. \n\nWhat you need to do is have a balanced routine. There are many exercise out there that are better for your total body. If possible consider other alternatives but include this as your warm up for 5 minutes to get your heart rate higher. It is an intense exercise if done correctly. \n\nMaybe consider running or sprinting uphills or sand dunes as an alternative. Anything on the sand or even snow is so better as there is less jarring on the body and you can get the same amount of calorie burning and intensity. \n\nGood luck!

If you change nothing about your diet, which, by the way, will make the process more difficult, burn 500 calories per day through cardio to lose one pound a week.  Strength train to gain muscle which will up your daily calorie burn.

A cardio workout burns calories. The harder the workout the more calories burned. One of the absolute best workouts for fat burning is to job at a pace above 6 miles an hour. \n\nWeight lifting is also great for burning calories, but it does not teach your body how to maintain energy while doing activities. Cardio workouts allow you to do things like play basketball without getting fatigued. If all you do is lift weights, you wouldn't be good at fast paced sports because you would get winded easily.\n\nBottom line, Cardio burns calories, fat comes from stored calories. Eat Less, exercise more.

Look online for a metabolism calculator to give a rough idea of how many calories you're burning on an average basis (it's based on your activity level during the day-- whether you sit at a desk all day or work construction). Based on the numbers you plug in (combined with current height and weight information), you'll get an estimate of the total number of calories need to maintain your current weight. \n\nThen, you just take in more calories than that. \n\nI would suggest that you try to take in calories from good sources, rather than pigging out on Devil Dogs or Twinkies. Presumably, you want the weight to be packed on in the form of muscle, so you need to give your body the right kinds of raw materials to do the job. Use good sources of protein.

Ok, if you are not active you need to drop to 1000 calories. I have been told that to lose weight you eat 1200 calories but that is if you exercise for 1 hour a day as well. The theory is energy in has to be less than energy out. If you are unable to exercise I would suggest to drop a little and when you start to see results maintain at that calorie level. \n\nAlso, just be patient cause you have good weeks and bad, just be consistent and persistent. \n\nI wish you all the best of luck!

This is a huge misconception in the fitness industry. Every kind of training, whether it's interval or otherwise has the potential to burn fat, it's how much fat is burned that makes the difference between one activity and the next.  You said it perfectly..."any increase in physical activity will mean more calories used = weight loss"\n\nLow-intensity exercise is not as effective as high-intesity exercise at burning calories. High-intensity exercise is not as effective (percentage wise) as low-intensity exercise at burning fat calories. Regardless, high-intesity exercise always wins the race at burning more total fat calories in the end.\n\nCalories are an important consideration since you need to be in a daily calorie deficit to lose weight. Low-intesity walking typically burns a greater percentage of fat calories than running. For example, say you walk for 60 minutes and burn 300 total calories. The percentage of fat burned for energy usually averages about 70%. When you take 70% of 300 this means you've burned 210 fat calories. BUT jogging burns average 40% of calories from fat, so if you jogged the same duration (60 min) then you'll have burned likely over 600 calories. If 40% of those come from fat, that's 240 calories. So even though you're burning a lower percentage of fat calories when you jog, it is still a greater amount of fat calories and total calories in the end which helps maintain a daily calorie deficit and accordingly a greater chance at weight loss.\n\nThe problem with high-intesity exercise is that it's typically harder mentally and physically so it's difficult to keep up with it unless you program yourself and commit to a tough workout every week. Age and health are also factors. My best advice is to alternate low-intesity and high-intensity to avoid burn out and make workouts more enjoyable and varied. I train this way as do all my clients with excellent results.\n\nHope that gives you a better overview on this subject.\n\nIn the meantime try these useful calculators to assess calorie consumption, and energy expenditure:\n\nTotal Energy Expenditure:\nhttp://www.preventdisease.com/healthtools/articles/bmr.html\n\nCalories burned through various activies:\nhttp://www.preventdisease.com/healthtools/tools.html#cbva\n.\n.
