Cycling calories burned

Cycling is an ideal exercise to lose weight, build leg muscles and get you in shape quickly.
Riding at a moderate speed (12 – 14 mph / 20- 22 km per hour) you will burn approximately 235 calories per half hour (30 minutes). Cycling

Cycling and weight loss

How to burn more calories cycling

• Have daily rides for about one hour
• Hop off the car and use bike everywhere its possible: going to and from work, run quick errands, go visit a friend, just cycle around neighborhood
• If you can’t schedule regular rides each day than take longer few hours rides for few times a week. Look how you’ll burn a pound each week
• Eating healthy nutritious low-calorie food is essential to lose weight even if you are exercising. Combine regular cycling and healthy eating and watch how fast you’ll lose excessive weight and burn calories cycling

Calories burned cycling per mile

You can find out how many calories burned per hour into calories burned cycling per mile by dividing the number of miles into the calories burned. On average, you burn 36 calories cycling for mile.
One mile is equal 1.6 km.

Calories burned cycling formula

Calories/hr = [V*W(.0053 + %G/100) + .0083(V^3)]*7.2
Watts = [V*W(.0053 + %G/100) + .0083(V^3)]*2

Where V is speed, W is bike + rider weight in pounds., and %G is grade in percent. The factors here (0.0053 for friction + rolling resistance and 0.0083 for aerodynamic drag) are not absolute but average.

Calories burned cycling 15 mph and calories burned road cycling
Riding with a speed with 15 mph is considered vigorous cycling. When you bicycle 14 to 15.9 mph, you burn 44 to 61 calories per mile on average. Longer rides with a lot of climbing burn about the same amount of calories.

Calories burned cycling 20 mph
Bicycling with 20 mph is a racing. Racing cycling burn 45-65 calories per mile, depends on your weight. The more your weight is – the more calories burned.

Calories burned stationary cycling
Stationary cycling considered a very light type of cycling with a speed of 10 mph. Stationary cycling sessions will burn 30-50 calories per mile on average. Stationary bicycling is good as a light exercise but has low impact on leg muscles building. If your goal is to get your legs in shape, than you should consider taking spinning classes.

An elliptical trainer is a machine that is a combination of the treadmill, ski machine and a stepping machine. It imitates walking, running, climbing without putting stress on joints. Elliptical exercises can vary from light to high intensity based on the resistance preference set.

• Calories burned on elliptical trainer are almost the same to that on a treadmill.

30 minutes on elliptical trainer burn approximately 300 calories, and body continues to burn calories at for some time afterwards. It tones the entire body, which makes it look leaner.

By moving forward on the machine we work leg muscles:

– Quadriceps (the muscles on the front of our thighs)

– Gluteal muscles (our butt muscles)

How to burn more calories on elliptical

• Elliptical gives all the cardio-aerobics benefits and helps burning calories fast.
• Slightly more calories burned by going in reverse on elliptical, but it’s still not enough to justify the potential pressure put on the knees.
• Getting your balance on an elliptical machine can be a difficult at first. But note that you’ll burn more calories if you let go of the handles than if you’ll be hanging on. Hands-free position also helps achieve better posture.

Is elliptical calories burned accurate

If you are not sure whether your elliptical machine shows you right amount of calories burned, I would recommend researching and buying a good heart rate monitor. They go as a watch or a chest-strap. Body heart rate monitors usually much more accurate measuring elliptical calories burned than the calculators included to elliptical and treadmills.
