51 Calorie Burning Activities

Few paragraphs from the eBook is as follows:

Our bodies need calories. Depending on age  and sex, we need anywhere between 2000  and 2600 calories every day. Unfortunately,  most of us consume double and triple this  number. The good news is there are many  activities that you can do to get rid of those  unwanted calories. This ebook will help you  to understand and decide which activities  are right for you.

*Keep in mind that all calorie-burning  examples in this ebook are based on a  person weighing 150 pounds. If you weigh  less, you’ll burn fewer calories; if you weigh  more, you’ll burn more calories.

Sports And Exercise

This first set of tips covers a variety of different sports and exercises. If you’re already actively doing one of these, or looking for something to start, this will give you some good information on some good calorie burners.

1. Bicycling

Whether it’s a real bike, or a stationary one, cycling is a great way to get your heart pumping and those calories burning. Just cycling for 15 minutes a day will burn 119 calories. If you extend it to 30 minutes, you’ll burn 477 calories.

2. Stairs or Treadmills

Stairs are great for toning up those legs. They can also burn calories. Don’t have stairs near you? Use a treadmill! Just 15 minutes can burn 102 calories, or the equivalent of each of these:

• 1 tbsp. of mayonnaise

• 1 banana

• 1 oz. of pastrami

• 2 small chocolate chip cookies

3. Weight Lifting

Working on that muscle tone? Weight lifting burns calories as well. 15 minutes of pumping iron burns 51 calories. Not much, but if you extend your training to 30 minutes a day, you’ll burn 204 calories.

4. Running

Lace up those tennis shoes. Running is an all-around great calorie-burning exercise. Running 12 minutes at 5 mph burns 109 calories. If you kick it up a notch and run 15 minutes at 7 mph, you’ll burn 196 calories. If you’re really devoted and run for an hour a day, you’ll burn 784 calories!
