Have You Ever Wondered Which Workouts Burn The Most Calories?

When we talk about calorie burn we often ignore the science behind burning calories and move directly to how to burn calories more specifically in the least amount of time.

First, consider these calorie-burning tips!

• burning calories is different for everyone….one size doesn’t fit all

• age, body type, current health, sleep patterns, current activity level, and most importantly food these all play a part in burning those unwanted calories

• different workouts and exercises will work differently for each person

Running

You had to know this was going to be first on the list of workouts to burn more calories. Whether running outside or on a treadmill indoors you can burn some serious calories in a minimal amount of time.

You can burn up to 500 Calories within 30 minutes depending on your speed and distance in those 30 minutes.

Bonus Info 👉🏻 If you want to up your Running Game & love to challenge yourself then try Interval Running:

If you have never done Interval Running, no worries it’s completely easy to incorporate into your Running Routine.

Interval Run

Warm Up - run or walk for 5 minutes to warm up and get ready for your first interval
Run for 2 minutes or for an amount of time that is comfortable for you on your chosen Speed & Level
Walk for 2 minutes or for an amount of time that is comfortable for you again, at your chosen Speed & Level
Walk for 5 minutes to cool down

Do this for 30 minutes or a duration that you have decided on for your workout.

If you don’t like Running that’s okay consider Power Walking instead but remember you will have to walk further to hit that 500-calorie burn.

Cycling

Cycling can be one of the most rewarding forms of cardio and one of the best ways to burn calories whether you are in the gym or at home.

If you like Cycling whether indoors or outdoors there are some things to keep in mind:

Thought
It’s possible to burn between 200 and 700 calories cycling for 30 minutes. The number of calories burned will depend on some other factors, namely your body weight, your pedal speed, and the intensity of your workout.

For Example:

300 calories for a 120-125 pound individual
400 calories for a 150-155 pound individual
500 calories for a 180-185 pound individual

Again, the number of calories being burned will depend on some of the above factors

HITT

The word on the street is that HITT is the way to go when you want to burn a lot of calories in the least amount of time, but there are a few things to consider. HITT has huge popularity for as you guessed it a lot of calorie burn in a short amount of time but some studies have found that doing too much HITT (think every day) for longer than 30 minutes could actually work against what you're trying to achieve.

That said if you really enjoy HITT performing a HITT Workout 2 to 3 times a week in addition to other forms of exercise can help you to burn up to 400 calories for 30 minutes. HITT Workouts can include jumping, sprinting, and drills to mention only a few.

Standard HITT

5-7 exercises performed at max effort for 30-60 seconds with 20-30 second rest periods and usually performed for 3 rounds for beginners and 4 - 5 rounds for advanced.

Always remember to hydrate really well before a HITT and ensure to eat a light snack, so that you have energy but not so much that you feel sick or nauseous while performing the HITT.

All Movement Counts!

The recommended amount of physical activity is 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity and strength training or exercise that works for all muscle groups 2 times a week or more.

All movement counts towards calorie burning and fat burning 🔥- walking to the store, carrying groceries, getting up and down to do for example laundry.

If your fitness goal is to lose weight and you are a beginner or maybe you just reset your fitness goals, weight loss takes time and cannot be done in a day nor can you spot reduce fat. Planning a regular routine, eating healthy, and moving daily is your key to easily sustainable weight loss.

It’s really important to remember that any fitness journey and fitness goals that you have set for yourself will take time but it’s worth the wait starting your fitness journey with a solid foundation will help you reap the rewards long-term. You will look and feel great!
