Exercises That Burn The MOST Calories
So here’s the deal. To burn off 1 pound per week you need to burn approximately 3,500 extra calories than you take in. Sounds like a lot? Well, not really. Through a strict diet and some of the exercises below it’s very achievable. I have listed some of the best and most effective ways to burn calories in the shortest amount of time possible.
The following numbers are based on a 130lb woman. The heavier you are, the more calories you will burn.
- Swimming laps (medium pace) - 600 calories/hour
- Running up the stairs -900 calories/hour
- Rowing (fast pace) - 525 calories/hour
- Stair climber - 490 calories/hour
- Kickboxing - 615 calories/hour
- Step aerobics - 630 calories/hour
- Elliptical Trainer - 560 calories/hour
- Weight lifting (minimal rest) - 488 calories/hour
- Jump rope - 780 calories/hour
- Running @ 5mph - 700 calories/hour
A mixture of the above exercises and reduction in calories on a daily basis will result in weight loss. I recommend you mix things up to keep your exercising interesting and fun. If you know someone else who wants to lose weight, get them to join you - it can be a great motivator!
