Calories Burnt per
Activity Chart
Participating in your
favorite activity or sport burns calories. Use the
activity chart below to calculate how many calories your
body burns when exercising.
When you are exercising,
the number of calories you burn depends upon your
weight, the activity your are doing and the intensity
level you are exercising at. Active people become slim
and stay slim, because they know that burning calories
allows them to eat a balanced normal diet, while
enjoying physical activity.
A person with a higher
fitness level will probably exercise at a faster rate
and therefore burn more calories than someone who does
not work as hard. Whatever exercise activity you choose,
you should aim to do it for at least 30 minutes and it
should leave you slightly breathless at completion.
Above all you should enjoy the exercise so that you will
keep repeating it every day.
