Top 6 calorie burning exercises
THIS POST IS NOT MINE. I FOUND IT HERE: http://shine.yahoo.com/healthy-living/the-top-6-calorie-burning-workouts-2444723.html 1. Kickboxing: 800 calories per hour Kickboxing offers a great full-body workout because it requires you to use every major muscle group and includes interval training. Your heart rate will soar and stabilize several times throughout the class, which is optimal for weight loss. 24 Hour Fitness clubs report that attendees of their Turbo Kick classes can burn up to 800 calories in one hour-long class. 2. Biking: 700 calories per hour You can burn up to 700 calories at your average cycling class or take to the road on your own to enjoy fresh air to boot! Just make sure you keep a pace of about 14 to 16 miles per hour to reach the 700-calorie goal. 3. Zumba: 500 or more calories per hour Who knew an hour of dancing could produce such results?! Because this Latin-inspired dance workout uses the principles of interval training and resistance exercise, the workout will boost your metabolism considerably, according to FitnessZumba.com. However, like any fitness regimen, the number of calories burned varies from person to person depending on weight, sex, current fitness level, and how a hard a person works out. Still the massive weight loss and toning benefits of hip-swishing and shimmying make this dance workout one of the most popular today. 4. Jumping Rope: 780 calories per hour Only got ten minutes? You can still squeeze in cardio with this highly effective activity, which can have you burning 130 calories every ten minutes (or 780 calories per hour). According to MedicineNet.com, you'd have to run an eight-minute mile to burn as many calories as jumping rope for the same amount of time, making it a good choice for someone who is starting a fitness regime and may not have the endurance to maintain a fast running speed for an extended period of time. If you have limited space and time, jumping rope is the most efficient way to see results. In addition, the high-impact nature of this workout means you'll add bone mass, increasing your bone health, according to 24 Hour Fitness Club's Website and BoneHealth.com, while you lose fat. 5. Aerobic Step Classes: 600 calories per hour Aerobic step classes are high-intensity and high-impact, meaning you'll burn fat and calories. The number of calories burned depends on how high the step is, but using just a six-inch platform can allow you to burn up to 600 calories in one hour-long class. 6. Running: 650 calories per hour According to WebMD's calorie calculator, a 145-pound person who maintains a 10-minute mile for one hour can burn up to 650 calories. However, running consistently for an hour can be challenging if it isn't a part of your current exercise regimen. You can work up to this goal and increase your cardiovascular fitness by adding walking intervals throughout your workout. For instance, run for three minutes and then walk briskly for one minute. This practice will increase your endurance, lower your heart-rate recovery time, and burn fat. OF COURSE THIS IS NOT A ACCURATE NUMBER. THE CALORIE BURN DEPENDS ON YOU WEIGHT, HEIGHT AND SEX. This is me 3 months ago. When I was on wacation in turkey and were out running at 06:30 every day in 45 degrees. My body has really improved since then. Especally my abs, my abs are much more visable now than bak then :D
