Calories Burned During Fitness Activities

Regular physical activity can help you feel better because it: boosts energy, helps you cope with stress, improves self-image, increases resistance to fatigue, helps counter anxiety and depression, helps you relax and feel less tense, improves your ability to fall asleep and sleep well,  and provides an easy way to share time with family and friends.

The information below shows the number of calories burned during physical activity.  The calories burned are listed for a 175 pound healthy man and a 140 pound healthy woman.  The number of calories you burn in an hour for each activity may vary according to a variety of factors, including environmental conditions

So Figure It Out For Yourself

Here's how to find the number of calories you would burn during your workouts:

1. Write down your weight and then divide your weight by 140 pounds (for a woman or 175 for a man).
2. Multiply this number by the number of calories burned in an hour as shown above.
3. This will give you the number of calories YOU burn for the same activity.
