to know 12 Easy Ways --------------------to Eat 100 Less Calories Per Day

If you are an exercise enthusiast or exercise to manage your weight, you probably wonder how many calories you burn.

This chart shows the estimated number of calories burned while performing a variety of exercises for one hour. The estimated numbers represent a moderate-intensity exercise level.

For both lighter and heavier body weights, you can calculate the approximate number of calories burned by selecting the maximum number of calories used from the column for a 170- to 180-pound person. Multiply this figure by your weight and divide by 175. For example, if you weigh 220 pounds, jogging uses:

656 x 220 = 825 calories an hour
175
