How Many Calories Burned Doing Various Activities?

How Many Calories Burned Doing Various Activities?

Calories burned are often a big mystery in most people’s minds.  We all have our general ideas that the calories burned are greater as we exert ourselves more.  Exactly what are the amount of calories burned for the various activities and exercises?

We can start with sleeping. We burn about eleven calories every ten minutes, so the amount of calories burned would be about 528 calories in eight hours.

The calories burned just being awake and generally doing nothing is about 12-15 calories per 10 minutes.

Calories burned every 10 minutes:

11          Resting

30          House Cleaning

36          Vacuuming

37          Moderate  Weight Lifting

50         Gardening

56          Rebounding

75          Brisk Walking

75          Downhill Skiing Moderate

75          Vigorous Weight Lifting

75          Bicycling 10 mph

75          Walking uphill 3.5 mph

88         Vigorous Aerobics

95          Running 12 minute mile

106       Step Aerobics 6-8 inches high

125       Step Aerobics 10-12 inches high

125       Moderate Jump Rope

When you combine this with the amount of calories burned from the food you eat, you have an idea what it takes to maintain, reduce or increase your existing weight. It also gives you an idea of what it takes to lose one pound of fat or gain one pound of muscle.

The amount of calories burned during a lazy day of sleeping 8 hours  and just doing almost nothing the rest of the day looks like this:   528 calories burned while sleeping 8 hours  plus 1440 calories burned nothing for 16 hours (15 calories burned every 10 minutes x 6 x 16) equals 1968 calories burned that day.

This is a hypothetical example, since each person will likely burn more or less calories depending entirely on their level of activities.   This includes your emotion stresses, frequency of eating  – which influences the rate of metabolism (amount of calories  burned at a time),  your proportion of fat to muscle and your nutrition.
