Some of the exercises that most spend calories are running, jumping rope, swimming, playing water polo and rollerblading, for example. On average, a 50kg person spends more than 600 calories per hour while running on a treadmill, while those who weigh about 80kg spend about 1000 calories per hour for this same activity. This is because the more weight a person has, the more effort their body needs to make to ensure they do not lack oxygen or energy in every cell in the body.
Other examples of exercise that burn many calories are:
- Strengthening (strong);
- Play indoor soccer;
- Play tennis;
- Boxing, judo or jiu jitsu.
But more important than starting an exercise just because it burns a lot of calories, is knowing how to eat well, enjoy the type of activity you will do and dedicate yourself by practicing at least 3x a week for 1 hour or daily for 30 minutes, because regularity of exercise is also important to lose weight.
Caloric expenditure by Physical Activity
Knowing the energy expenditure of the exercises and also the calories of the foods it is possible to structure a diet and physical activity scheme together in order to reach the objective of gaining or losing weight more quickly, remembering that for weight loss it is necessary to spend more calories of what it consumes and, to gain weight, the opposite.
Enter your data below and find out how many calories you spend on some activities:
It is possible to increase the amount of calories you spend per day by increasing your body's metabolism and increasing your muscles because the more lean mass the person has, the more calories they will expend.
How to know how many calories you spend per day
To know the amount of calories that each person spends per day one must take into account their weight, type of activity that performs daily and the intensity of each activity. On average, a 60-kilogram sedentary woman spends about 1000 calories a day just to stay alive without doing any kind of physical activity.
These 1000 calories refer to basal caloric expenditure, which indicates the amount of energy the body needs to maintain breathing, heart beating and hormone production, for example.
The calculation to know how many calories a person spends per day, just to live, is done with a specific mathematical formula and is fundamental for those who want to lose weight. Here's how to do this: How to calculate caloric expenditure.
How to Burn More Calories to Lose Weight

You can choose the one that best suits your personal taste, availability of time and regularity because it is no use to run intensely only 1 day a month, thinking that you will lose 4 kg. You need to dedicate yourself and make it a habit.
Now that you know what you need to do, just choose the type of physical activity you are going to do. Here are some examples of sports that take into account other important aspects and not just the caloric expenditure of the exercises.
When you begin to practice some type of physical activity the caloric expenditure increases and consequently, the body spends more energy and therefore the person slims. Basically, the more calories a person spends doing an exercise, the more they lose weight, but the more motivated a person is, the greater his or her effort will burn more calories.
