What type of exercise will help you burn the greatest calories?

Answer 1

• Brisk walking, rowing, running and cross training are the best exercises. For an overweight person I would recommend the cross-trainer as there is less impact and they will find it easier. Otherwise they'll complain it's too hard and give up.
• I went from 230 lbs, which was definitely fat for me, to 185 lbs in about 5 weeks on a 500 calorie a day Protein diet combined with an hour a day of Lap swimming. It wasn't exactly the healthiest thing I've ever done, but I lost the weight. Overweight people also run, row, and cross-train.

• Your body is pretty much like a car, with the heart as the engine. The more you rev it, the more fuel it burns. The form of exercise that burns the most calories is the one where youfind the best balance between intensity and duration.
• For me swimming wouldn't be it. Either I'd go full tilt and burn out before using up any serious calories, or I go at my regular pace where I can't get my heart rate up enough to burn serious calories there either. But If I was a better swimmer that would probably change. My "best" exercises are cycling or skating, that's where I can get my heart rate up and keep it up long enough to make a real difference. In those I can maintain a steady heart rate of 150-160 BPM for hours, which will let me burn 900+ cals/hour. Keeping at it for 4-6 hours isn't a problem. Cross-country skiing, or skating with poles will bump my calorie consumption up some, maybe to 1200, but I can't really keep it up long enough to be significant.
• 500 cal/day diet really isn't advisable from any perspective. Don't try to follow that. You've probably spent years putting the weight on, so you should allow yourself some time to get it off. Also, the trick to a sustainable weight loss isn't through a diet, it's through a lifestyle change. And you need to spend some time on that to make it stick.
• Swimming hard enough and being able to keep it up long enough to really matter in terms of calorie consumption is HARD. I'm not saying impossible, but I'd say that you'd need some prior training or previous experience of serious upper body workout to pull that off. Besides, for someone only eating 500 cals/day - well that person would have lost plenty of weight even if the only exercise was 5 minutes of thumb twirling daily.
• The most effective way at burning calories is running and rowing followed by x-trainer.
• The form of exercise that burns most calories is the one where you can strike the best balance between intensity and duration, and which exercise this is will be dependent on the person. For the "average guy" it is unlikely to be swimming and will most probably be an activity that has the legs heavily involved. My advice is to get yourself a heart rate monitor, one of those with a display that looks like a wrist watch. They're not particularly expensive, and most can do calorie counting these days. They're a really useful tool to help you evaluate and track your efforts. For someone starting out really unfit even running might be too intense, in which case walking at a brisk pace is a decent replacement. Remember, it's all down to getting the heart rate up and keeping it up for some time. Whatever gets you there will do the trick.

Answer 2

• Any high intensity aerobic activity will burn more calories such as swimming , hill climbing ... etc.
• Per unit of time, you will burn more calories in a 100 meters race, but only for 10 seconds (or less), but activities with long distances (marathon, triathlon, cycling, swimming) will burn more calories at the end.

Answer 3

Swimming

Depends of the time that you need to finish your activity. If you run 1 hour, you´ll burn more calories than a Baseball player during 1 game. But physical activities as cycling (5 hours per stage), marathon (3 hours or depends of the runner), triathlon (10000 kcal per Iron Man) will burn a lot of calories, because you´ll all the time burning your fat (not so many energy from carbohidrates calories).

Answer 4

Any type of exercise will burn calories.Its how long you do it and how you diet.Like walking,running,jogging,stairs,stretching,squats anything as long its like 60 mins long.And if you have a good diet you should start to see changes in like the 1st or 2nd week!

Good Luck!

Answer 5

Any exercise done in a excess amount will burn away excess calories. But I think the real question is: "What are the exercises that will efficiently and effectively help me burn most calories?"

As a man in the Marines and having been working out for the last 8 to 9 years, burning the most calories in the shortest amount of time would be an exercise called "Burpies." It's commonly used exercise in prison and jail as well. The reason is because it's a cardiovascular work out that also works out the legs, chests, arms, and neck, all at the same time. 10 min of that will make you burn more calories and sweat more than running for 30 min.

Always vary your workouts so it doesn't get so boring and you could stay more motivated.

Answer 6

Running is the winner for most calories burned per hour. Stationary bicycling, jogging, and swimming are excellent options as well.

HIIT exercises are also great for burning calories. After a HIIT workout, your body will continue to burn calories for up to 24 hours.

Answer 7

The truth is you have to use a lot of sorts of exercises I would recommend you do the cycle.

Answer 8

the exercise that burns the most calories per hour is jumping jax and jogging in the same spot

Answer 9

The aerobic exercise that tends to burn the most calories is running. Running will burn approximately 1200 calories an hour depending on your speed and size.

Answer 10

Kickboxing, as in hitting the heavy bag.
