Do you know how many calories you are burning per hour during exercise?

Click on the images below to view what it takes to burn the calories.



Figures are based on the calorie expenditure of an athlete weighing 65 kgs. Values will be greater for heavier body weights & lower for smaller body weights.

 

HOW CAN YOU RAISE YOUR CALORIE EXPENDITURE?

 

Increase your fat free mass.

Regular weight training will significantly raise your RMR in as little as three months. One pound of muscle burns approximately 30,50 kcal per day per pound. So adding just one pound of muscle would use up an extra 350 kcal per week purely for maintenance purposes.

 

Regular aerobic workouts.

Aerobic exercise can increase your RMR between 6 & 36 hours after exercise. The greater the intensity of the workout & the longer the duration, the greater this effect will be.

 

Get more active.

Exercise will compensate for some of the reduction in lean body mass that normally occurs during dieting and will therefore produce a smaller drop in RMR.
