51 Calorie Burning Activities
Our bodies need calories. Depending on age and sex, we need anywhere between 2000 and 2600 calories every day. Unfortunately, most of us consume double and triple this number. The good news is there are many activities that you can do to get rid of those unwanted calories. This ebook will help you to understand and decide which activities are right for you.
*Keep in mind that all calorie-burning examples in this ebook are based on a person weighing 150 pounds. If you weigh less, you’ll burn fewer calories; if you weigh more, you’ll burn more calories.
SPORTS AND EXERCISE
This first set of tips covers a variety of different sports and exercises. If you’re already actively doing one of these, or looking for something to start, this will give you some good information on some good calorie burners.
1. Bicycling
Whether it’s a real bike, or a stationary one, cycling is a great way to get your heart pumping and those calories burning. Just cycling for 15 minutes a day will burn 119 calories. If you extend it to 30 minutes, you’ll burn 477 calories.
2. Stairs or Treadmills
Stairs are great for toning up those legs. They can also burn calories. Don’t have stairs near you? Use a treadmill! Just 15 minutes can burn 102 calories, or the equivalent of each of these:
- 1 tbsp. of mayonnaise
- 1 banana
- 1 oz. of pastrami
- 2 small chocolate chip cookies
3. Weight Lifting
Working on that muscle tone? Weight lifting burns calories as well. 15 minutes of pumping iron burns 51 calories. Not much, but if you extend your training to 30 minutes a day, you’ll burn 204 calories.
4. Running
Lace up those tennis shoes. Running is an all-around great calorie-burning exercise. Running 12 minutes at 5 mph burns 109 calories. If you kick it up a notch and run 15 minutes at 7 mph, you’ll burn 196 calories. If you’re really devoted and run for an hour a day, you’ll burn 784 calories!
5. Badminton
Hit that birdie! Badminton is a fun way to get in shape. A 20-minute game burns 102 calories, and an hour game burns 306 calories.
6. Basketball
Hoops, anyone? A fun 20-minute game of basketball burns 137 calories. Challenge your teammates to a rematch and you burn 409 (for a 60-minute game).
7. Bowling
Dust off that bowling bag! Even if you’ve never bowled a strike, bowling can be a fun way to get into shape. Bowling a 60-minute game will burn 205 calories. Extend the game to 90 minutes and you’ll burn 307 calories.
8. Football
Whether it’s flag, touch, or tackle, football has always been a great way to stay in shape. A 30-minute game will burn 273 calories. That’s the equivalent of each of these:
- 2 oz.
croissant
- 1 Hot dog
- ½ cup of ice cream
- 1 bratwurst sausage
9. Frisbee
Headed for the park? Take along a friend and a Frisbee. Tossing a Frisbee for 30 minutes will burn 102 calories. Stay out a bit longer and burn 205 calories (in an hour).
