Calories Burnt per Activity Chart

Participating in your favorite activity or sport burns calories. Use the activity chart below to calculate how many calories your body burns when exercising.

When you are exercising, the number of calories you burn depends upon your weight, the activity your are doing and the intensity level you are exercising at. Active people become slim and stay slim, because they know that burning calories allows them to eat a balanced normal diet, while enjoying physical activity.

A person with a higher fitness level will probably exercise at a faster rate and therefore burn more calories than someone who does not work as hard. Whatever exercise activity you choose, you should aim to do it for at least 30 minutes and it should leave you slightly breathless at completion. Above all you should enjoy the exercise so that you will keep repeating it every day.

 

Activity & Calories Burnt 120 lbs 140 lbs 160 lbs 180 lbs
Aerobics (per minute) 7.4 8.6 9.8 11.1
Basketball (30 minutes) 225 264 300 339
Cycling (10 mph 30 minutes) 165 192 219 246
Golf (pull clubs 30 minutes) 138 162 186 210
Hiking (30 minutes) 135 156 180 201
Jogging (30 minutes) 279 324 372 417
Skating (ice and roller 30 minutes) 177 207 237 264
Skiing
(snow and water 30 minutes)
171 198 228 255
Swimming
(moderate pace 30 minutes)
239 270 309 348
Tennis (30 minutes) 180 207 237 267
Walking (30 minutes) 195 228 261 291
Weight Training (30 minutes) 198 228 261 294


 An example of what can be achieved is a man weighing around 187 pounds or 85 kilograms should burn about 1200 calories playing 18 holes of golf over 3 hours. This is providing that he is pulling a golf buggy and walking, not using a motorized buggy.

You can see by the chart, moderate exercise will burn calories and when you couple that with eating less calories, weight loss is certainly achievable.
