How many calories you burn with these exercises?
We all know exercising is good and hear the most effective exercises but do we know how many calories we burn? Unless we are on a treadmill or bicycle that shows the calories burn we can really know. Here is a list;
1. Step Aerobics …
Calories Burnt: 800 cal/hr
This mainly targets your legs, hips and bum, which are often the areas that women most want to tone. Doing an hour a day, split into two half an hour sessions, will ensure that you see results within 2 weeks.

Another very similar exercise is bench presses, which go very well in sets with step aerobics. It’s really hard to do to start with, so make sure you’re doing them right or you’ll see no results!
2. Bicycling …
Calories Burnt: 500 – 1000 cal/hr
Depending on how fast you go, this can be a real calorie burner. Riding outside is always enjoyable, but if you’re a little more time restricted, invest in a good quality exercise bike and enjoy it while you’re watching tv.
3. Swimming …
Calories Burnt: 800 cals/hr
Doing lengths up and down the pool for an hour will burn off 800 calories, and also tone almost all of your body. Stay motivated by giving yourself half an hour extra to make use of the Jacuzzi when you’ve finished!
4. Racquetball …
Calories Burnt: 800 cals/hr
The side to side running involved in this is a great cardio workout, and will also help to tone your thighs and legs.
5. Elliptical Burner …
Calories Burnt: 600 cals/hr
This is brilliant cardio, and also helps to build strong muscles, as well as toning the stomach. It might be a little boring, so split your session into ten minute bursts and do them throughout the day, and you might try listening to some upbeat music.
6. Rowing …
Calories Burnt: 500 – 600 cals/hr
Rowing is a brilliant way to tone your arms, and is also very good fun. Get involved with the local rowing club and you’ll get to try it for free, or simply use the rowing machine at the gym. As well as building arm muscle, you’ll also burn calories and get an incredible workout.
7. Walking …
Calories Burnt: 360 cals/hr
The easiest exercise, brisk walking is a great cardio workout and will also help to tone legs, stomach and hips. Sprinting, walking across hills or walking uphill will add to the amount of calories burnt, and walking tends to be very easy to fit into daily life.
8. Dancing …
Calories Burnt: 600/800 cal/hr
This targets all over your body, and is an excellent work out. Put a music channel on and dance around, as well as burning calories this might be a great stress reliever! Just make sure you stay active, and try and keep going for at least an hour!
9. Exercise DVDs …
Calories Burnt: 300/500 cals/hr
While these come under a lot of different headings, some exercise DVDs do actually help you to lose weight
and tone up. Find a high energy one, and try and do it once a day. As well as burning calories and toning up, you’ll also feel much fitter.
10. Horse Riding …
Calories Burnt: 200-600 cal/hr
This one may be slightly harder to arrange, but going horse riding once a week is one of the best ways to stay fit, healthy
and enjoy nature. The view from up there is so amazing, you won’t notice that you’re toning your bum, abs and thighs, and burning calories while you are at it! You’d be surprised at how cheap it can be to arrange a session once a weekend, and if your feeling extra fit you could even cycle to the stables!
