exercise by teh sea (48/365) In order to maintain weight loss exercise is a crucial part of what you’re actually doing, so just in case you’re not sure if the exercise you’re doing is giving you the full benefit, as regards your weight loss goals.

Here is a comprehensive list of exercises and how many calories they actually burn.

Walking at the speed of approximately three miles per hour will burn 280 calories
Ballroom dancing will burn approximately 260 calories
Tennis will burn 350 calories or more
Aerobic dancing will burn 420 calories
Riding a bicycle at a moderate speed will burn 450 calories
House work done at a moderate pace will burn 160 calories
Aerobics will burn 450 calories
Hiking will burn 500 calories
Doing step aerobics will burn 550 calories
Running will burn 700 calories
Swimming will burn 500 calories if done constantly

Gardening which will entail hoeing, raking cutting grass and any other physical activity which is part of gardening will burn 350 calories plus.

The crucial part of this to remember is that you only need 3500 calories per week to be burned in order to lose one pound of fat, if you do a mixture of the exercisers above then you will easily be able to maintain your 500 a day deficit that you need in order to keep your weight in check.

Do you think the machines at the gym (particularly the elliptical) are even close to accurate? If I do an hour at an average of 70 rpm and keep a heart rate of around 142 (cardio for my age), would I would burn 900 calories? I’m just not sure. It is a nice number, but is it wrong?

Hi! I used(and continue to use swiming) to get back and keep in shape. 5 hours/week and not only I lost a lot of weight but also got some nice muscle too in under a month. The same goes for my girlfriend to. Highly recommend.

If you want to shed some pounds, try spinning. It is very intense and strenuous but absolutely worth it. A month of doing it twice a week and you will see serious results – but you need to put the effort in.
