Calories Burned Per Minute of Exercise By Weight

Every activity you do burns calories. The more calories you burn, the faster your body uses up incoming fuel (food) intake. If your requirements exceed the calories provided by incoming fuel, the body dips into its reserves (fat) to supply the energy you need. By lowering your calorie intake and increasing your activity, you are able to lose weight. Men burn calories faster than women. Heavier people burn calories faster than thin people. Exactly how many calories are expended by any individual will vary. The following chart gives the approximate number of calories burned per minute of a variety of activities. For each activity, multiply your exact weight by the number in the per pound column to equal the number of calories burned per minute. Multiply this number by the number of minutes in that activity to equal total calories burned. EXAMPLE: Calories burned per pound per minute (badminton - .044)  x (times) your exact weight (140 pounds)  = (equals) total calories burned per minute (6.16 calories burned per minute)  x (times) minutes of activity (30 minutes)  =(equals)  184.80 total calories burned per activity Activity  (alphabetical)   Calories burned per pound per minute   Your exact weight in pounds   Total calories burned per minute   Minutes of activity   Total calories burned   Badminton .044         Basketball .063         Bicycling (5.5 mph) .029         Bicycling (9.5 mph) .045         Climbing hills (no load) .055         Climbing hills (with 9 lb. load) .058         Climbing hills (with 22 lb. load) .064         Cooking .022         Dancing, ballroom .023         Dance, Aerobic, medium .046         Dance, Aerobic, intense .061         Golf .038         Grocery shopping .028         Jumping Rope (70 jumps per minute) .074         Jumping Rope (125 jumps per minute) .080         Jumping Rope (145 jumps per minute) .089         Mowing the lawn .051         Racquetball .081         Raking leaves .025         Running (6-minute mile) .115         Running (8-minute mile) .095         Running (9-minute mile) .087         Sitting Still .009         Skiing, cross-country, walking .065         Skiing, cross-country, uphill .125         Snowshoeing, soft snow .075         Squats .096         Swimming, crawl, slow .058         Swimming, crawl, fast .071         Swimming, breast stroke, fast .074         Table tennis .031         Walking, normal pace, asphalt road .036         Walking, normal pace, fields & hills .037         Weeding .033         Weight training, free weights .039         Weight training, circuit training .042         Volleyball .023
