How many calories does your body burn of doing nothing?
I am not sure by just breathing. But your body does use calories by just living (it takes calories to run your body). In order to do this, you can look up a Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) calculator. This is the amount of calories you burn just lying in bed all day. Add walking and other activities into the mix and you are burning more calories than the BMR calculates.
How long does it take to burn calories on a bike?
It's not really about how far, but rather about for how long and how hard you'd have to ride.
On good roads, that'll take more miles than it would on poor roads.
I can go through 800 calories in less than one hour, most would probably do it in 90 minutes or so, some may need two hours or even more.
How long does it take to burn 1000 calories in the gym?
It depends on your weight, you degree of fitness, and how much effort you put into it.
An average person jumping rope might burn 11 calories per minute but the higher and faster you jump it can reach the limit to about 20 calories per minute but it depends on your weight and fitness.
Depends on how hard you go at it, and for how long you can keep it up.
How many calories burn per hour doing nothing?
You burn 1 calorie per minute. Or in other words, you will burn 60 calories an hour and this is while sleeping. So if you eat 1400 calories in 24 hrs, and you burn 1400 calories every 24 hours, you'll stay at the same weight. So what you should do is try to burn 500 extra calories throughout the day. By the end of the week, you will have burned 3500 calories, equivilent to 1 lb. of fat.
Hope this helps you!!

How many calories burned riding a bicycle?
Depends on how hard and for how long you ride. For me, between 800-1100/hour.
Here are responses from various WikiAnswer contributors:
- Depends on a lot of things, your age, your gender, your fitness level, how hard you ride to start with. I get about 60 cals/mile, but I'm an experienced rider and I ride fairly hard. 40 cals/mile or even less is probably more normal.
- That all depends on how hard you ride and for how long you ride. I usually get somewhere between 700-900 / hour, but I push hard and am quite fit.
- 450 - 600 is probably a decent average.
- If you're not getting sweaty and winded, you're probably down to 300-something.
- Each style of biking and bike type has its own calorie requirement. A racing bike at over 20 mph can get you up to 1088 cal/hr. (That's 5 cans of coke worth). Professional hardcore racers often load up on extremely energy dense foods such as straight olive oil to fuel their performance during a race.
- The number of calories burned riding a bike walking depends on your age, your weight, your degree of fitness, your body composition, and where you are riding (flat ground or incline) as well as how far you ride and how fast you ride. For information about how to do cardio exercise correctly for fat burning, see the page link, further down this page, listed under Related Questions.

Calorie burn doesn't care that much about what you do, but it cares a lot about how long and how hard you stay at it.
So it's basically all about effort, and time. Whatever you do that gets you equally sweaty and winded will pretty much use up the same amount of calories.
If you pootle along, doing nothing much, cycling won't use many calories. If you go flat out, cycling can use up loads of calories. Pretty much anything between 200 and 1200 per hour depending on effort.
Depends on a lot of things, how hard you go at it, how long you keep at it, your age, gender and fitness level.
A fit and experienced rider can blow through 1200 calories/hour, while someone just starting may struggle to reach 600 cals/hour.
Depends on how hard and how long you're riding, can be anything between 400-1100 calories/hour.
The amount of calories burned per hour depends mainly on the weight and repetition of spins. For example, a person weighing 150 pounds burns an average of 270 calories per hour on a bicycle.
How many calories are burned standing?
Obviously you are burning an amount of calories based on your basal metabolic rate, although this would happen regardless of whether you were standing, sitting or sleeping.
However, standing up also puts pressure on the spinal erector muscles, the rectus and transversus abdominus muscles (which work together with the spinal muscles to hold the torso upright), the leg muscles, and also the neck muscles which have to support the weight of the head.
As standing is a static activity, these muscles merely provide support rather than repeatedly contracting and relaxing as would be the case with running or walking, so their energy needs are greatly reduced. That said, standing up for a prolonged period of time would still burn calories which wouldn't be burned if you were lying down.
Its impossible to give an exact figure, though I would estimate it could be anywhere from 50-100 calories per hour depending on the height/weight of the person.
How many calories burned doing wii fit?
One game burns about 250 calories. Ten just dance games would burn 2500 calories- only long version.
I wish it burned that many calories. I have checked a few sources and about 20 calories per song is more accurate which puts you about 200 calories every half hour. That seems about right when compared to doing the elliptical or running for a half hour. I get more tired doing the elliptical and that burns 400 per half hour at the clip I go. I am not that tired when I do Just Dance although it is a lot more fun. Of course, this depends on your weight and fitness level.
It also depends on how active you are with the game... Running isn't the same as jumping around. Full-body cardio burns more than running on an elliptical. If all you do is follow the arm movement, you won't burn much.
However, if you're like myself who is sweating after medium impact songs because you actually mimic feet, arms, and the rest of the body, you'll burn a lot more because you're in sync with the games movement. The calorie counter expects you to burn the proper amount by using your entire body, not just your arm alone (which most beginners have the habit of doing).
The game has 14,000 a week calorie burner. Which is to help you lose around 4 lbs a week, or a bit less depending on how much you ate that day and if you do any other exercise. And from people who played, many do find themselves losing a few lbs a week if they do it correctly and religiously.
In the end though, it's impossible to trust ANY calorie counter. I've been on machines that count much slower than others and some that count faster. But it's said that when you high-five someone, you burn a calorie. Your body burns calories naturally even if without movement (Just not as fast), so, the game probably isn't spot on, but one has to remember it expects you to use your entire body, not just an arm.
How many calories does a marathon runner need to consume per day?
The number of calories marathon runners eat per day while training varies from person to person. Both women and men need to eat 2,000 to 2,500 calories per day plus an additional 100 calories for each mile they run. They also need to be sure that roughly 65 percent of their calories are coming from carbohydrates, especially complex carbohydrates.
How many calories does riding a stationary bike for 10 minutes burn?
The degree of resistence will determine how much. You would have to account for your weight, the weight of the bike, the surface you're riding on, the material, density and texture of the tires you're riding on, the angle of the surface you're riding on...It's subjective, so has no one right answer.
Why does running burn more calories than cycling?
When it comes to burning calories, your heart rate is much more important than what you are doing.
If you can reach and sustain the same heart rate for the same amount of time you will burn pretty much the same amount of calories regardless of activity.
For the same length of time, riding flat out will burn more calories than a casual walk, while walking briskly can burn more than a casual ride.
When you have a set distance, cycling will burn less calories than walking at the same level of effort, as the higher speed of the bike means you'll finish the distance faster.

How many calories do you burn on treadmill for 1 hour?
When it comes to burning calories, your heart rate is much more important than what you are doing.
If you can reach and sustain the same heart rate for the same amount of time you will burn pretty much the same amount of calories regardless of activity.
The actual burn rate will depend on how hard you go at it, how fit you are, what you weigh, what your proportion of muscles are etc.
I'll usually do 700-900 cal/hour running, but someone smaller and/or less fit might struggle to hit 600.
Someone bigger/fitter/younger than me might hit 1100-1300.
How many calories do you burn wakeboarding?
Very few, actually. However, if you aren't that good (ski greens et al.) you burn a lot more than a very good skier. Is that a joke? you burn tons of calories skiing. 3400 calories are burned from 8 hours or about a full day of skiing at a moderate effort

How many calories do you burn during sex?
this depends greatly on the details of the intercourse. The amount of time having intercourse is the greatest factor. For example, if you spend 20 minutes having intercourse, the average male can burn 75-100 calories. The more time you spend actually having intercourse, the more calories you could burn. also, the type of intercourse can have an affect. Gay sex tends to burn more calories, due to the nature of the intercourse, and the chances are greater that you will spend more time "swapping", which changes your movements from receiving to giving. You can expect to burn anywhere from 150-200 calories in the same 20 minutes of gay sex compared to the 75-100 calories of straight sex at 20 minutes.
How many calories burn golfing 18 holes riding cart?
Based on a 150 lb woman, 30 minutes golf is around 140 calories (carrying clubs) and 90 (with trolley) and hardly any in a buggy.
So for 18 holes, say 3 hours 30 minutes, 980 calories (carrying clubs) and 630 (with trolley).
How many calories do you burn doing 1 hr of yoga?
"Hot Yoga" is a broad term describing a variety of yoga classes. Bikram yoga, perhaps the most widely known style, is mainly stationary so one would likely burn fewer calories than in perhaps a "Hot Vinyasa" yoga class. Calories burned also depends on the size and weight of the person in question. I would say a good range would be 200-500. More importantly, the practitioner would be better off noticing how their body is feeling, how clothing fits, muscle tone and improved flexibility.
How many calories do you burn swimming 40 lengths?

How many calories does a 16 year old boy burn in a day?
why does an athlete need to loose weight. aim for 21oo calories a day.
How many calories burned in a sit up?
Ok, that stuff was junk. You burn about .2 calories per sit-up for the average person. So in other words, 10 sit-ups burns 2 calories. If you're looking to lose weight, I suggest jogging, walking or running. Again based on the average weight and height 1000 sit-ups is equivalent to jogging, running, or walking from around 2.5 to 3.5 mi. for the average person. Pick your poison. DO one of them for 17.5 days eating around the recommended amount of calories per day, and viola, you have lost a pound, though it also helps to switch out some foods, like eat an apple instead of a candy bar, trade in 2% milk for skim, eat vegetables to your meal, grill rather than fry. All these things will help.

Does riding a bicycle burn more calories than swimming?
Answer:
Running burns more kilo-calories than any other activity. How is this determined? Biophysicists measure how many kilo-calories are burned during an activity and produce what are called MET(metabolic equivalent of task) values. Running at various speeds when compared to similar effort in some other activity, has higher MET values than any other activity rated at a similar effort.
Answer:
When it comes to burning calories, your heart rate is much more important than what it is that you are doing. If you can reach and sustain the same heart rate for the same amount of time you will burn pretty much the same amount of calories regardless of activity.
For the same length of time, riding flat out will burn more calories than a casual walk, while walking briskly can burn more than a casual ride.
When you have a set distance, cycling will burn less calories than walking at the same level of effort, as the higher speed of the bike means you'll finish the distance faster.
