Calorie expenditureEvery individual trying to reduce weight, look very smart and be fit would surely work on burning calorie and fats. Along with doing workout it is very important to also know rate of calorie expenditure that is at what rate do we loose calories. In today’s modern times we have the gyms providing machines that show how many calories are burnt in a specific time. The rate of calorie expenditure is different for different workouts, and also varies with time. Calorie expenditure would be less for a half an hour low impact aerobics compared to high impact aerobics. Similarly it is less for lightweight moderate training. The rate at which calories burn does not depend only on these but also on some other important factors too. The other factors effecting calorie expenditure are age, sex, genetics, metabolism and weight. These all vary from person to person and so does the calorie burning process. If considering a thirty-minute workout with the above mentioned workout types it is seen that 145 calories are burnt in low impact aerobics while 210 are burnt in high impact aerobics in the same time interval. Rowing helps in burning 200 while lightweight moderate training burns only 85 calories in thirty minutes. According to the researches made 3500 calories are equal to 0ne pound of human body weight. To burn 3500 calories a moderate walking of around 12-13 hours is required. Hence to decreases a pound weight 12-13 hours walking works. This show gaining calories are an easy job but calorie burning isn’t. With this speed of calorie burning it better not to expect fast weight lost and think twice before eating. To loose weight the balance of intake of calories and expenditure is necessary. If one desires to loose weight then less intake of calories in food and more exercises on regular basis can be helpful. If possible one should practice high intense workouts or rowing for faster results. The reason for their rapid result is because the energy required to function by the muscle tissue is much more than the fat, even when the body is at rest. And so more muscle results in more calorie burning. Some results that show the rate of calorie expenditure of various sports and activities help to choose the one with the most calorie-burning rate and also of the individual’s choice. It has been found that skipping with rope and running lead this race by 700+ calorie burn in thirty minutes. The next comes is the favorite of many people squash with 650+ calorie burn. Power walking also gives the same result as squash. At third place is cycling with 650 calorie burn. Swimming, hiking, step aerobics burn 550+ calories in half an hour. Than is jogging with 500+ rate. Skating, dancing and aerobics help to get rid of 450+ calories in half an hour, followed by tennis of around 350+ calories. Moderate house hold work with some 180 calories. This is some approximate calorie expenditure guidance. So, what are you waiting for? Just pick up the activity that suits the best to the interest as well as the goal to burn calories and benefit to the maximum. |
