Running and calories If you’re wondering how much weight you can lose while running and with other exercises and activities, there are calculators for that.
Because each of us burns differently. There is no single recipe. How many calories you burn while running depends on many factors. For example, your height, age, weight, your exercise intensity, and intensity.
I counted for myself (170 cm tall, 60 kg weight, 46 years old), assuming 30 minutes of activity and like this:
- – running at a pace of less than 6 minutes per 1 km: 300 kcal
- – cross-country skiing / running (fairly fast): 290 kcal
- – active swimming, without hitting: 270 kcal
- – cycling at a speed of 19-22 km / h: 220 kcal
- – Nordic walking: 200 kcal
- – brisk walking: 190 kcal
- – skiing: 190 kcal
- – garden work: 110 kcal
- – pilates: 100 kcal
- – general house cleaning: 80 kcal
- – ironing: 60 kcal
Well, if you don’t look, running wins .
However, it is worth knowing how to run to lose weight. I wrote about it here:
I’m very glad that walking is also high on the list. Because if running is absolutely unacceptable for you (yet), then start walking regularly.
Actually, I have nothing to add, just: go for a run 🙂 Or go for a quick walk.
Well, maybe a few more words to fill in the question of how much weight you can lose while jogging:
- To lose 1 kg, we need to burn approximately 7,500 calories. Unfortunately.
- So you would have to go out about 25 times in half an hour of jogging to burn off 1 kg of unnecessary fat.
- Suppose you run every other day. So you need less than 2 months to lose 1 kg of fat.
- And if you add walks, a bike or a swimming pool on your jogging days – it’s even faster!
- Of course, the fat can turn into muscles and the weight will not budge. But it’s better to have muscles than fat;))
What else you can do to burn 1 kg of unnecessary fat?
All calculations are based on my data, it may be a little different for you, but not very much.
And imagine what will happen when you combine these different activities :))
All of this, of course, provided you don’t eat more than you usually do.
It’s best if you take care to consume fewer calories. Then the whole action will speed up.
Opt-out of:
– sweetened carbonated drinks
– sugar for coffee and tea
If you are still walking, the so-called fast food – limit it too.
I have already blogged about the caloric deficit. Welcome.
By the way:
- 1 ferrero = 73 calories
- Yesterday I was ironing :))
- I will not eat today;))
How to be honest: yes, I eat sweets.
I know they are unhealthy.
I know they are fattening.
That’s why I walk and run.
I don’t eat these sweets an awful lot.
