Calories burned per hour by activity.

The number of calories burned during exercise depends on body weight, the intensity of the activity performed, and metabolism.

For example, a person who weighs 60 kg and walks 2 to 5 km/hour once a week does not burn as many as a person who weighs 85 kg and walks 10 to 12 km/hour every 3 days.

Before I tell you more about calories burned during certain outdoor activities, let’s first take a look at what a calorie is. A calorie is a measurement of energy, just like a kilogram is a measurement of mass and a kilometre a measurement of distance. The amount of energy required to perform an activity is measured by the calorie burn rate.

Wondering how to burn calories? It’s simple: just by being alive! Yes, your body is constantly burning calories to power your vital organs. To burn more, you have to be more active. Remember: the more vigorous the activity, the more calories you’ll burn.

Here is a list of calories burned per hour for some feasible activities. Match your weight to one of the following 3 and find the estimated number of calories burned per hour for the corresponding activity or sport (approximations).

Playing sports is especially essential for feeling good about ourselves. When we’re in a better mood, we’re less likely to eat our emotions, and we’re better at managing our food intake.

Get moving this summer!
