Burn Baby Burn....

For some reason I've been receiving Fitness Magazine in the mail lately... LOL~ I didn't order a subscription. BUT~ there was some neat info in there I thought I'd share.

*Stand up activities, like RUNNING burn more calories at a higher level than those in which your weight is supported, such as cycling.

*Myth: Mile per mile Running & Walking Burn the Same. Not even close. Running is a more energetic activity, becasue you're jumping off the ground with each stride. Per mile, RUNNING burns about twice as many calories.

Calorie Burners: (based on a 140 lbs weight. You burn more if you weigh more, burn less if you weigh less.)

Running, moderate 10- minute miles burns 640 calories per hour.
Stadiums (running stairs) burns 480 calories per half hour.
Trail Running burns 575 calories per hour.
Walk-Jog intervals burns385 calories per hour.
Power walking (about 4 mph) burns 320 calories per hour.

Workouts that keep working: Push yourslef completely in the red for 60 seconds.... as in run as fast as you can for the last minute of your run.

Feel the beat: Research shows that music helps you move faster without feeling like you're working harder.

Take it outside: You may go a lot faster when you walk or jog outdoors, which burns more calories.

Turn up Your Daily Burn: Caffeinated coffee can be a matabolism booster, as can green tea. The result isn't dramatic, a few calories a day, but every little bit adds up. (PLUS~ its a dieretic... suppresses appetite, LOL!)

Cool, huh?
