Calorie Chart for Various Activities

Your weight is determined by how many calories you consume per day minus the calories you burn through activities. In order to lose weight you would either need to eat less calories or burn more calories through exercise and fitness. Imagine how much faster it would be to lose weight if you ate less calories and exercised at least 3 times a week.

The number of calories that you burn in any activity or sport depends on your body weight and the intensity of your work out. Here we tried to give the values of calories burnt by various activities or sports per hour for an average adult of 70kg.

If the person weighs more the calories burnt is also more with the same time of activity.
