Calories Burned Biking
Burning calories doesn’t need to be painful or boring. It can actually be fun. You can use your everyday activities to burn up to 150 calories!

Sounds unreal but it’s actually true. Every fitness activity be it jogging, walking or swimming helps burn calories. Some activities burn more calories per minute than others. The rate of burning calories is also determined by the pace with the more intense pace burning calories faster.

Also depending on your weight, those who are heavier will burn more in the same amount of time as someone weighing less.

Burning 150 calories is simplified in these easy steps. If you love biking and do it at an easy relaxed pace of 10 to 12 mph, you will burn 150 calories after 22 minutes. If you increase the pace to between 12 and 14 and 14 to 16 mph then you stand to burn 150 calories after 17 minutes and 14 minutes respectively.

Jogging and running are also effective in burning calories. To burn 150 calories jog for 19 minutes, run at a 6mph pace for 13 minutes or run at a 8mph for 10 minutes. The faster you move the more calories you can burn! Even playing your favorite sport can do wonders for you. Playing soccer for 19 minutes or beach volleyball for 17 minutes or the more intense rugby for 13 minutes will see you burn 150 calories.

Walking is part of our daily activities and walking at a brisk pace for 35 minutes will see you lose 150 calories as will walking at a medium pace for 38 minutes and at a slow pace for 53 minutes. So next time you are taking a walk around the block or from your office to the parking, remember you are burning calories as you do that.

If going to the gym or indoors workout is more your thing and you want to burn 150 calories, use an elliptical machine for 24 minutes, use the stair machine for 22 minutes or doing push-ups for 17 minutes.

Research is showing us that being overweight can be a factor in not only the usual physical problems, but also in the development of Alzheimer’s disease.

So go on, pick up an exercise of your choice and watch the calories burn!
