Exercises that Burn Calories

If you are looking to exercise in order to lose weight, you should know that certain exercises lose more calories per hour than others. While many people look for exercises that burn the maximum calories per hour, you should be more interested in exercises that fit your lifestyle and that you are interesting in doing. Here are some tips on exercise that burn calories.

For many people, the easiest exercise to participate in is walking. Walking is not only a low impact exercise, but you can walk anywhere and you don’t need any special equipment except a comfortable pair of shoes. For a normal walking speed of 3 mph, you will lose about 250 calories per hour. If you walk up hill at that pace, you can increase your calories burned per hour to 450. This is an excellent way to lose lots of calories fast and with little risk of injuring yourself.

If you enjoy bicycling, you will be happy to know that riding a bike at a leisurely pace burns about 300 calories per hour, if you ride a stationary bike, you can burn a little more at about 350 and if you mountain bike, you can easily burn 450 calories per hour.

If you enjoy golf, here is another reason to play more often. If you play golf and carry your own clubs, you can lose about 350 to 400 calories per hour. Cut off about 150 calories if you use a golf cart. If you are looking to lose weight with exercise, check out these great tips and calculate the amount of calories that participating in specific exercises burn.
